Prairie View A&M University's Community and Economic Development division and The Closing Authority Team have partnered to bring you a free, live homebuying workshop designed to give you a clear, step-by-step plan to go from where you are right now to keys in hand — in 60 days.

Stop renting. Start owning. Here's your plan.

If you've been thinking about buying a home but feel like you don't know where to start, this event is for you.

In 60 days or less, you could go from where you are right now to handing over the last rent check you'll ever write.

But only if you have a plan.

That's exactly what this free live training gives you.

What You'll Walk Away With:

• A clear, step-by-step roadmap from pre-approval to closing, no guesswork
• The truth about what your credit score and savings actually get you right now
• What happens after your offer is accepted (most buyers have no idea — and it costs them)
• A plain-English breakdown of underwriting — the part of the process that trips up even prepared buyers
• The exact documents to gather, the moves to avoid, and the timeline to follow

This training is designed for buyers who:

• Have moderate to good credit (620+ — ideally 680 or higher)
• Have some savings set aside
• Are serious about buying in the next 60–90 days
• Want a real plan, not more overwhelm

Your Host: Michelle Dowell-Vest is a VP of Production and licensed mortgage loan officer with 20+ years of experience helping buyers close with confidence. Her approach is simple: educate first, sell never. This is not a sales pitch — it's a free class.

Seats are limited. Register now and show up ready to take notes.
