Hawaii HomeOwnership Center


Hawaii HomeOwnership Center 
 

Buying a home in Hawai'i can be an intimidating experience, add in the challenge of being a first time home buyer and the experience can seem almost impossible. The mission of the Hawai'i HomeOwnership Center is to provide education, information and support to create successful first-time homeowners here in the islands.

 

By setting a course to overcome obstacles and increase rates of home ownership, the HomeOwnership Center seeks to build stronger families and communities throughout the state. Their vision is to substantially increase the number of successful homeowners by reaching out to low- and moderate-income families who never believed they would become homeowners. 



Why should you come to the Hawaii HomeOwnership Center?
The Center provides you with the necessary information and services you need to become a homeowner—all in one place. You can attend a free, one-hour orientation to get information on what it takes to become a homeowner. The orientation class will give you an introduction to home ownership, assess your readiness to buy a home, and describe the home-buying process. A home could be a single-family, multi-family, condominium or townhouse unit. 



What services are offered by the Center?

  • Home buyer education
  • One-on-one counseling
  • Financial literacy training
  • Referrals to professional services (REALTORS®, lenders, insurance)
  • Post-purchase counseling

 

How much will these services cost?
The one-hour home buyer orientation class is free to all interested home buyers. If you are interested in taking the next step, you will be asked to fill out an intake form. 

There is a $60 lifetime membership fee that allows you unlimited access to the home buyer education classes, individual coaching sessions, and post-purchase services. The fee is assessed by "buying-unit" so no matter how many people are involved in your home purchase, it's still one membership fee of $60.

All one-on-one counseling is included at no additional charge. 

How can you sign up for the free home buyer education orientation?
To enroll, call (808) 523-9500 today. Classes are held throughout the year at convenient times and locations. Visit www.hihomeownership.org to sign up for an orientation session today.

Aloha Lise Howe, with the cost of living as high as it is in Hawaii, programs like this are essential in helping people understand that planning and utilizing available resources can help achieve home ownership. Thanks for commenting!
