From Renter to Owner: A Beginner’s Guide to Buying Your First Home

Tuesday, April 28, 2026
6:30 PM–7:30 PM
Free In‑Person Workshop

Renting is fine. Dreaming about buying is normal. Feeling confused about how people actually afford homes is also extremely normal.

If you’ve been thinking “maybe someday,” saving Pinterest boards, or casually Zillow‑scrolling but don’t know what the real next step is, this workshop is for you.

We’re breaking down the homebuying process in a way that actually makes sense. And WE PROMISE - NO pressure, NO awkward sales energy! Only practical guidance and honest answers.


What We’ll Cover

• How people realistically save for a down payment without giving up their entire personality
• What lenders actually care about and what matters way less than you think
• Easy, doable ways to improve your credit and buying power
• A clear walkthrough of the mortgage process from pre‑approval to closing
• How to find the right home and navigate today’s market without losing your mind

You’ll also get real‑world insight from local real estate expert Kristin Dufner, who will talk through what first‑time buyers are seeing right now and what’s worth paying attention to.


This Workshop Is For You If

• You’re currently renting and wondering how people make the jump to owning
• You want to buy in the next few years but don’t know where to start
• You’re financially responsible but still have a million questions
• You want information, not a sales pitch


What You’ll Walk Away With

• A realistic roadmap from renter to homeowner
• Clarity on what you should focus on now versus later
• Answers to your questions in real time
• A lot more confidence about what’s possible
