About this Event
Your First Home Starts With a Conversation
Real Conversations. Real Guidance. Real Possibilities.
You've thought about buying a home. Maybe you've even browsed listings, calculated monthly payments, or wondered whether your credit is ready.
But between the mortgage terminology, down payment questions, credit concerns, and conflicting advice online, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
Let's make it easier.
Welcome to Mortgages & Mimosas, a first-time homebuyer Workshop hosted by Zakiya Hopkins, Realtor® in Charlotte, North Carolina.
This is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and get a clearer picture of what homeownership could look like for you. No pressure to purchase. No expectation that you have everything figured out. Just practical education and honest conversations with professionals who can help you understand your next steps.
And yes, we'll enjoy some good eats and mimosas while we're at it!
What You'll Learn
1. Understanding the Homebuying Journey
Learn the major steps involved in buying your first home, from preparing to shop to getting to the closing table. Understand what a real estate agent does and what to expect along the way.
2. Mortgages Without the Confusion
Jason Jepsky, Mortgage Loan Officer with First Federal Bank, will help break down mortgage financing, loan options, lender requirements, and the questions you should ask before applying.
3. Credit and Financial Preparedness
Lucy Taylor with Kiser Financial Solutions will discuss credit and financial readiness, helping you identify areas to focus on as you work toward your homeownership goals.
4. Real Questions, Real Conversations
Wondering how much you need for a down payment? Concerned about your credit? Unsure whether renting or buying makes sense for your situation? Bring your questions. This is your opportunity to learn in a supportive environment.
