On September 24, at 6:30pm, I will host a Homebuyers Question & Answer session.  Joining me to answer your real estate questions will be Marlene Marshall, a real estate attorney at Marshall & Laffey Ltd and Mike Demarse, a mortgage consultant at Travis Mortgage. 
 
I hope that the Q&A will be a very pleasant and informal conversation about buying property.  After some introductory comments, I plan to describe each step in the home-buying process....but it is my hope to be interrupted frequently as the whole point is to answer questions that people might have, whether they be general or very specific.
 
By having a real estate attorney and a mortgage broker present, I hope that, between the three of us, we will be able to provide detailed answers to most questions that arise.  While the focus will be on educating home buyers, I also expect this to be a learning opportunity for us "experts," as we will hear firsthand the concerns of consumers.
 
If those who attend enjoy themselves, laugh a little, and learn a little, then I will consider the evening to have been a success.  I hope that attendees will leave with greater clarity about the homebuying process and will understand the importance of buyer representation. Of course, I will also be happy to discuss the possibility of working personally with buyers in their home search.

Whether you are considering buying your 1st home or have already purchased many properties, come learn more about the home buying process and how you can achieve your real estate goals.

William Hall Library (1825 Broad St, Cranston) on Wednesday, September 24, at 6:30pm.
 
This is a FREE public service event, and I hope to see you there.
