Freedom Debt Management, Inc. offers homebuyer education program on October 13 in Boca Raton

Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Boca Raton, FL. – A homebuyer education program, appropriately titled “Realizing the American Dream,” will be offered by Freedom Debt Management in Boca Raton to assist South Florida residents. Homebuyer education teaches participants the concepts of money management, understanding credit, getting a mortgage loan and more through a series of two 4 hour courses. The first class is scheduled for Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at the 941A Clint Moore Road in Boca Raton from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Freedom Debt Management, Inc., a non-profit, has partnered with Citi Group to offer the program due to a lack of consistent 8 hour homebuyer education programs in the South Palm Beach County area. The program is aimed to put up to 100 families on the road to homeownership in its first operating year.

“We are very pleased to introduce this program to our community,” said Darish Still, Director of Counseling with Freedom. “Our program is designed to enhance our participants’ concepts of budgeting and saving as well as alert them to the many scams and credit traps that can threaten their financial future. Strong financial skills can lead our residents to be able to buy homes, be prepared for financial emergencies, and be more comfortable in retirement, which leads to a stronger and healthier community. We are here to help our residents get their financial future in shape!”

Through the classes, participants will learn to manage their financial resources more effectively and make wiser financial decisions. Class topics will include mortgage affordability, money management, understanding credit, getting a mortgage loan, shopping for a home, and keeping your home and managing finances.

The program is being offered at a low cost to interested participants in Palm Beach and Broward counties as a result of financial support provided by Citi Group.

Freedom Debt Management is a non-profit organization dedicated to counseling consumers regarding homeownership and the challenges of effective credit and money management.
