Online First-time Homebuyer Workshop

Buying a home is a big deal, whether you’re doing it for the first time or getting back into the ever-changing market. When you educate yourself for smart homeownership with Framework, you’ll navigate every step of the process with confidence. The Framework course is affordable too: just $75.

In order to receive your certificate of completion (required for many lender or other homebuyer incentives) you are required to fulfill a one-on-one counseling session with Way Finders in addition to completing the Framework online course. Please contact Way Finders for details on that requirement, including additional fees (if applicable) and scheduling details.

This workshop only, West Springfield Residents can attend for FREE. Contact homeownership@wayfindersma.org with a copy of a utility bill showing your West Springfield address and requesting free attendance.

Depending on your goals and readiness, we may recommend a First Time Home Buyer Workshop, offered online and at various locations throughout the region. The course covers finding, financing, purchasing and maintaining a home.
