Brownstoner Home Events Panel Series Kicks Off With 'What First-Time Buyers Need to Know'

Thinking about buying a home in Brooklyn? Wishing you could buy a home in Brooklyn? Get answers to your questions from a panel of experts at “What First-Time Home Buyers Need to Know,” the first event in the upcoming series Brownstoner Home Events.

Participants will give an overview of the home buying process, financial planning as it relates to home buying, the role of the attorney, and financing options.

Mortgage broker Adam Dahill of loanDepot can talk about financing and down payment options, including financing for tricky situations such as mixed-use properties, condos and co-ops in small buildings, and homes that require a construction loan.

Real estate agent Terry Robison of Douglas Elliman, who has served as president of his co-op building, can explain how and where to look for your first home and what you need to know about co-ops vs. condos and houses.

Financial planner Kristen Euretig of Brooklyn Plans can discuss how to make a home buying plan, how to come up with a down payment, and how to buy a home even if you have debt such as student loans.

There will be drinks and snacks, and members of the Brownstoner team will be available after the panel to chat informally about the home buying experience. Brownstoner Home Events is a series of workshops and panels for prospective home buyers, sellers and homeowners.

The first event in the series will take place at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture at 53 Prospect Park West in Park Slope on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The April 18 event is FREE to first 50 people who RSVP. All attendees receive a Bed Bath & Beyond gift card with a value of $10.
