NeighborWorks Great Falls knows that buying a home can be an overwhelming process – we’re here to make it easier. NeighborWorks offers a monthly Homebuyer Education course to prepare hopeful homebuyers for their homeownership journey. Homebuyer Education classes provide information on all aspects of homeownership from the experts themselves – realtors, lenders, home inspectors, and more. This class is a requirement to use any of NeighborWorks’ financial assistance but is open and encouraged to anyone interested in buying a home. For clients interested in a one-on-one approach, we offer free pre-purchase planning sessions for those who would like additional guidance.
Have you recently bought a home and are unsure of the next steps? NeighborWorks Great Falls also offers Post Purchase classes. The Post Purchase class informs new homeowners on what to expect as you begin your homeownership journey, as well as provide information to help prepare and protect you so you can enjoy your biggest asset for many years to come. This course covers topics such as:
These classes are offered quarterly, check out our calendar below to stay up to date on when the next course offering is.
There are one-on-one 45-minute pre-purchase planning sessions available to those that are interested.

Once your counselor has received proof of income and signed disclosures you will be able to schedule your free appointment.
