The homebuyer market has changed — and the way we counsel clients must change with it.Â
As a counselor, you are working in a market defined by high prices, high interest rates, tighter affordability, and clients facing real financial strain. That means the tools, strategies, and workflows that worked five or ten years ago are no longer enough.
Homebuyer Counseling Essentials is a comprehensive, instructor-led training designed for today’s counseling reality. It blends foundational competencies, counseling skills, documentation standards, and client-readiness techniques used across the industry with practical, modern frameworks, updated tools, and real-world strategies to support first-time homebuyers from intake through mortgage readiness — in the market we serve today.
This training combines live instruction, hands-on practice, structured assignments, and ongoing support through a flexible, blended-learning model designed for busy professionals.
You’ll leave with a clear, confident counseling workflow and the skills to guide clients through today’s challenges with professionalism, clarity, and purpose.
