I was getting stressed with my home purchase not knowing whose responsibility is what, and I felt left out as soon as I signed the initial paperwork. This class had educated me with the necessary information I need when buying a house, and made sense of most of the things I don't know about loans and laws governing it.

This is a wealth of information. Thanks.

Great course!!!!! Well worth the money!!!!

This was an awesome class, I really learned a lot about buying a house and all that goes with it.

I think any first-time home buyer should take the time to purchase this class, it has been very informational. I'm lucky due to fact that my lender and I have known each other for a very long time and I trust him. However, I realize that may not be the same for most people. When I sat down to talk to him about this, I didn't have any knowledge about buying a house. Everything he has explained to me now makes sense!

This course is very helpful to me in understanding the home-buying process, and it is organized the way that anybody can easily get it. My special thanks to provider and organizer of this course.

Great information for home buyers, both new and seasoned. Thanks for putting this program together.

This program taught me the necessary steps to prepare for home ownership and information I didn't know before. I feel like the knowledge I learned will be very helpful for preparing for my future home.

This program is really helpful and should be required reading for all home purchase transactions. I have purchased and sold seven homes thus far in my life, and I actually still took away several helpful pieces of information for my next purchase.

Excited and looking forward to purchasing my first home!

Program was informative and easy to understand. As former homeowners and college-educated, we were already pretty well informed, but we were surprised how much we learned, especially on topics like financing. (Before this course, we didn't even know what APR was!) Thanks!

I enjoyed this information on buying my home. There was a lot of things I didn't realize and options that opened my eyes. Thank you.

This program was extremely educational. There were a ton of things I was not aware of. I am thrilled to have learned so much from this. Thank you!

A very refreshing update. Many of the things included in purchasing a home change over the years, so it is great to be up to date. Very good definitions for the terms used.

I think that all buyers and sellers in the United States should have to take this course before purchasing or selling a home.

This was an excellent, interactive and very informative course. Thank you!

This information came to me right before the closing of my first house. However, I'm grateful to say that I didn't make too many mistakes according to this course, so that's a huge relief. The material was very interesting and informative, and I will take it with me for my future home ownership and, if the time comes, for any future sales and purchases I make.

Thank you, this was great.
