Katiejo I sure hope there will be a good turnout.

Donna - Pre-purchase education on the process of finding and financing a home should be a must.  I hope those entering the market will take advantage of these free seminars.  Thank you.

Liz - The name is derived from the Wappinger Indians.  Many places in my area have names that originated from Indian words.   I suspect because of the majestic Hudson River Many Indians lived in the area.

Lynda thank you.  I truly believe providing useful information upfront to these first time buyers will make them better home purchasers.

Andrea sound like it was a success.  You might not have had a big turn out however you managed to get someone to closing and another in the works.  I hope it will be successful too.

Missy - A neutral venue will certainly lead to a better attendance.  Wow! everyone wanted to be pre-qualified? what a successful seminar!

Joan - I am hopeful it will be well attended, and attendees will not be disappointed much thought went into this seminar.

George - Thanks for sharing your experience.  These seminars does provide needed information to potential buyers.

Monika - Thank you I am looking forward to it.

Carole - I plan to have fun and I hope the audience will too, and in the process walk away with something they can use.

Lloyd - My part will be about 20 minutes and will include Q&A.  I have also decided to interview a first time buyer couple who purchased a year ago, they will also talk about their experience before and after the purchase.

Sandy - I have done this before.  I am always nervous the first few minutes but then I get into it.  My advice is to be yourself.  One of my previous job involved training so that helps :)

Let me know if you want to do one, I would be delighted to be of help.

Ann - I agree the interaction is an important ingredient.  In a live session there are always questions that come up that benefits the attendees.
