🥂 New Year, New Home: Home Buying 101 for the Service Industry
If your schedule isn’t 9–5, your path to homeownership shouldn’t be either.
Join us for New Year, New Home, a Home Buying 101 class designed specifically for Portland’s service industry professionals—bartenders, servers, stylists, creatives, hospitality workers, dancers, freelancers, and anyone with tips, commissions, or a non-traditional income stream.
This relaxed, judgment-free class breaks down the home-buying process in a way that actually makes sense for your life, your income, and your goals—no jargon, no pressure, no “one-size-fits-all” advice.
Hosted by
- Shalei Gall, Realtor at Neighbors Realty
- Aneesah Rasheed & Jen Lee, Loan Officers at Evergreen Loans
Together, we’ll cover:
✨ How to buy a home with tips, commissions, or variable income
✨ Credit basics (and how to improve it without panic)
✨ Down payment options & first-time buyer programs
✨ What you really need to get pre-approved
✨ Portland-specific market insights + realistic timelines
✨ Common myths that keep service workers stuck renting
Whether buying feels like a “someday” goal or a this year intention, this class will help you start 2026 feeling informed, empowered, and clear on your next steps.
Who this is for
✔️ Service & hospitality industry workers
✔️ First-time buyers (or “almost buyers”)
✔️ Renters curious about what’s actually possible
✔️ Anyone ready to trade burnout for building equity
New year. New goals. New home—on your terms.
Spots are limited. Grab a drink, bring your questions, and let’s make a plan. 🏡✨
