NeighborWorks hosts several homebuyer workshops
Our HomeOwnership Center recently hosted several homebuyer workshops this past month! We had our first Spanish workshop of the year at the office, as well as our first EVER homebuyer workshop in Monroe County together with Pocono Mountains United Way. In all, we had around 50 attendees at our workshops, with several speakers including presenters from Benchmark Mortgage, Comparion Insurance Agency, eXp Realty and more! We are grateful to our amazing partners for helping make these workshops a reality.
