Aspiring homeowners in Clayton County have an opportunity to arm themselves with crucial knowledge before diving into the real estate market. The Clayton County Office of Grants Administration, in partnership with Metro Fair Housing Services, Inc., has announced a comprehensive Homebuyer Education Workshop set for the bright morning of Saturday, April 20, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The workshop is designed to thoroughly educate potential homebuyers on the often complex process of purchasing a home, according to the Clayton County official website.

Interested participants who wish to gain insight into the housing market can look to truly get ahead by attending the workshop held at an undisclosed location within the county. Early registration is recommended as such workshops are typically well-received and are known to quickly fill up. The event promises to cover a range of topics crucial for buyers, particularly first-timers looking to navigate the competitive housing landscape.

These workshops not only inform on the more technical aspects of home buying, such as mortgage lending, credit scores, and budgeting but also broach the often-neglected topics like fair housing laws and avoiding predatory lending practices. It's a commitment from local institutions to ensure that citizens are not left adrift in an industry where knowledge truly is power.
