For most of us, a home is the largest purchase we will ever make in our lifetime. At AEDS, we understand that preparation makes for a successful home purchase. This is why we seek to help disadvantaged families and first-time homebuyers make informed decisions as they fully realize their slice of the American Dream. With our homeownership training program, we prepare homebuyers by:

Reviewing the steps involved when becoming a homeowner
Advising them on the financial preparation necessary for homeownership
Helping them find an affordable home and learn how to pay for it
Demonstrating the importance of credit and how it impacts homeownership
Helping them choose the right mortgage loans and how to get preapproved
Educating them on the different ways to find a home
Teaching them what to do when they are ready to make an offer
Aiding them in overcoming cultural and religious barriers that may occur when purchasing a home
Providing education on the important final steps of the home buying process

Languages spoken are English, Oromo, Amharic & Sumali
