Buying a Home

CCCS counselors are the area’s only HUD-certified counselors and educators, as required for down payment assistance programs. We provide a variety of services related to the home loan process. Every session begins with a holistic understanding of our clients’ financial situation, to determine the best options for them. 

Explore some of the counseling and education options we offer to future homeowners like you:

Pre-Purchase Counseling prepares prospective homeowners with an overall understanding of the home buying process through a two-step method: the Framework Online Homebuyer Course ($75), and a one-hour budget and credit counseling session ($100). These sessions are required for anyone taking advantage of down payment assistance programs. 

Click here to register for the Framework Online Homebuyer Course. After you complete the course, please schedule your one-hour budget and credit counseling session by clicking on the green “Contact Us” button or calling 800-350-CCCS.

High Cost Mortgage Counseling benefits consumers with lower credit scores who are applying for home, consolidation or refinance loans. This one-hour budget and credit counseling session offers valuable information on boosting your credit scores while also teaching you about the details of your loan terms and conditions. These sessions are a requirement for anyone pursuing a High Cost Mortgage Loan. 

First Time Home Buyer Education Classes are conducted at various times throughout the year, and outline the homebuying process from beginning to end. Prospective homebuyers who complete the course receive a certificate of completion and a valuable homebuyers reference manual.
