CCU Hosts "Home Buying Made Easy" Workshop En Español

Member-owned Credit union invites public to no-cost educational workshop on July 25th

Grayslake, IL, July 10th, 2012:  Mortgage rates are at their lowest rates in more than 50 years.  Homes are priced aggressively, with many sellers ready and willing to offer buyers a great deal.  What better time than now to take advantage of these conditions to purchase your dream home?

The answer may seem obvious, yet many potential buyers have questions, questions and more questions about the home buying process.  That’s why Consumers Credit Union (CCU) has teamed up with Consumers Cooperative Association (CCA), the credit union’s sponsor, to provide practical answers to questions about every aspect of the home buying process.   The “Home Buying Made Easy” (or “Compra de Casa Hecho Fácil”) workshop will be presented in Spanish on Wednesday, July 25th at the Waukegan Public Library.

“Consumers Credit Union is very excited to offer our popular home buying seminar to the Spanish-speaking community,” said Sean M. Rathjen, CCU President.  “One of our goals is to provide everyone access to affordable homes.  “Compra de Casa Hecho Fácil will provide answers folks need to decide if buying is right for them . . . and if so, to help them make the best purchasing decision possible.  Those in attendance will receive information to help determine the value of their prospective new home, sort through financing options, along with other tips to help make home buying the joyous experience it should be.”

The workshop features experts from every aspect of the home buying process.  Alejandra (Alex) Garcia and Juan Gonzalez, CCU Loan Officers, will explain the pros and cons of the many financing options available.  Tomas Gomez of ReMax Showcase and Jose Rodriguez from Rodriguez Home Inspectors will provide valuable home purchasing tips, showing attendees how to get priority access to foreclosures, short sales and other great real estate deals.
