Client Services – Services for Buyers

Before you start looking for a home . . .

A home is often the largest purchase most Americans will ever make. It is a complex process, involving many critical decision points, from negotiating a favorable loan, to selecting a home that is appropriate to the family budget and needs. Any home purchase requires negotiations and information from a variety of professionals, including real estate agents, lenders, escrow officers, appraisers, and inspectors, among others.

To effectively navigate this process, you must be armed with factual knowledge in order to make sound decisions. This purchase is too important to leave to hopes and promises.

Thus, Mission of Peace offers complete education and information services, including referrals and unbiased advice. Mission of Peace should be the first stop if you are interested in buying a home.

At Mission of Peace, you will meet with a highly-trained advisor for Budget and Credit Counseling. Creating a responsible budget and improving credit scores is the foundation of financial security. From this counseling process you will learn what your potential resources are, how much home you can afford, how to look for hidden costs and plan for emergencies. All of this information is absolutely critical to making sound home purchase decisions.

From this point, Mission of Peace can refer you to appropriate lenders, help you assess documents and your budget, and provide an unbiased third party advisor throughout the purchase process. It is particularly important to pre-qualify for mortgage loans, and Mission of Peace can guide you through this process.

Home Buyer’s Club is one of the most popular ongoing educational forums offered by MOPNC. Through the Home Buyer’s Club, you can hear lectures on all aspects of home buying and ownership. There is also time for open casual discussion and one-on-one discussion with advisors. The Saturday morning meetings have become both an information trove and a source of support for those seeking to own a home.

In addition, MOPNC is in touch with various agencies, both national and regional, which can help many of you find more affordable housing, loan or repair assistance, matching programs, and many other services. Many of these programs are specific to particular locations or income groups and they constantly change, but Mission of Peace can provide referrals and up-to-date information that makes home ownership possible and more affordable.
