We know that buying or selling a home can be complicated. With so much to learn along the way — we’re here to make it easier with our HomeEasier Workshops. They’re free, informative and put you in touch with trusted sources that will help you achieve your goals. When you're ready to buy or sell, making an informed decision matters. HomeEasier Workshops can help prepare you as you go down the path of homeownership.

Buying your first home can take a little know-how. Through the expertise of our partners, the workshops are designed to help you and counsel you through the financial and homeownership process from pre-purchase to long-term financial stability. Here are three things our current workshops focus on.

Financial Education + Coaching


Saving money and spending it wisely is important. Many people encounter unforeseen expenses or debt and struggle to manage their finances. With improved financial education, you can accomplish your goals and future plans. 

Pre-Purchase Education + Counseling


Before you can buy a home, you have to be able to secure financing. In our pre-purchase program, experts can help  prepare you to become mortgage-ready. We offer both individual and group pre-purchase counseling sessions. 

Post-Purchase Education + Counseling


There’s a lot to learn even after you successfully buy a home. The post-purchase program provides educational workshops to help set you up for long-term financial stability. 

Our free HomeEasier Workshops are designed to inform and empower you to take the next step to homeownership.  Are you ready to change your future? 


Our Partners

We’re excited to partner on our HomeEasier Workshops with two local organizations and one that is homegrown. These partners also believe in the mission of making homebuying easier – The Spanish Coalition for Housing, YWCA and Key Mortgage. 

Key Mortgage Services is a family-owned, local full-service financial products provider. As our lending partner, they have volunteered their time and expertise to educate on how they can prepare themselves to buy their next home. 

The Spanish Coalition for Housing serves families across the Chicagoland area through financial education, foreclosure prevention counseling, pre and post-purchase education, rental counseling and more. 

The YWCA has been helping Metropolitan Chicago empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all since 1876.
