This brunch workshop is a great fit if you:

• Are a first-time homebuyer
• Haven’t bought a home in several years and want a refresher
• Are renting but thinking about buying in 2026
• Feel unsure about credit, savings, or affordability
• Want to understand the process before touring homes

You do not need perfect credit or a set timeline to attend.

• The step-by-step homebuying process, from planning to keys
• Down payment and closing cost basics (and common myths)
• How interest rates affect monthly payments—and what you can control
• How to shop for a home and make offers in today’s DMV market
• What happens during home inspections and how buyers typically respond
• How to avoid common mistakes that can delay or derail a purchase

Plus, you’ll have time for live Q&A, so you can ask real questions and get straightforward answers.

During the workshop, we’ll also discuss Prince George's County’s Pathways to Purchase program, which may provide up to $50,000 in assistance to eligible homebuyers purchasing in designated areas.

You’ll learn:

• What the Pathways to Purchase program is
• Who may be eligible (high-level overview)
• How the assistance can be used (education only)
• What steps are required to explore the program further

This overview is designed to help you understand whether this program is worth looking into as part of your homebuying plan—not to determine eligibility on the spot.

*The program administrator determines program availability, eligibility, and funding amounts, which may change. Not all buyers will qualify.
