No Stupid Questions Round 2 - A Community Event For First-Time Homebuyers

Portland loved our first No Stupid Questions experience and we are excited to be BACK with take two! Thinking about buying a home but not sure where to start? Join us for a free, informative, no-pressure homebuying workshop.

We’ll kick things off with a brief introduction, then dive into the fundamentals of home financing, including the different types of loans available, typical closing costs, first-time homebuyer programs, and what is included in a mortgage payment.

Next, we’ll break down the home buying journey step by step, sharing our proven process from the first sit-down consultation, through the home search and transaction, and even after closing.

We’ll cover how to make a strong offer and by the end of the class you’ll gain clarity on:

● Out-of-pocket costs before and after closing

● Navigating Real Estate options in the Portland Metro Area

● What Earnest Money is

● What Escrow is

● Seller Credits

● Home Inspections

● Home Appraisals

● Home Warranties

● Closing day and what to expect

● Post-Closing resources

To wrap up, we’ll share do’s and don’ts, debunk common housing myths, highlight lessons learned around costs and timelines, and provide helpful resources and trusted Realtor and Lender information.

This class is hosted by Aidan Keller, Loan Officer at Guild Mortgage, and Maddie Landers, Realtor at John L. Scott. Both are Portland born-and-raised homeowners with real-life experiences to share. Whether you’re just starting to think about buying or actively preparing, this event will give you clarity, confidence, and practical tools to move forward from two fun and enthusiastic real estate professionals.
