Note: If you are participating in the Florida Bond program (City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, multi-county or State Wide Bond) and have attended a Home Buyer Class 12 months or more ago, you may be required to attend a "New" class as the Certificate may not be accepted by the program. If you require a new certificate in order to qualify for the program please register for and attend the class.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an HEA policy but that of the Bond Issuing Agency.
The Housing & Education Alliance, Inc. certifies Home Buyers attendance at a live, class room 8 hour instructor led class. Participants will learn the fundamentals of the home buying process. HEA is a HUD approved Housing Counseling Agency, our curriculum is held to a higher standard and we take your education program very seriously. The Home Buyer class is part of HEA’s My Home America Housing program.
Also, HEA is a signee to the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling which are national standards and guidelines for quality education and counseling services.
If you are considering purchasing a home (even if you are not a First Time Home Buyer) please attend the class as soon as possible prior to signing a contract of purchase of seeking a mortgage. We see far too many of our students who wish they had attended class well before the last minute so they could have been better prepared for the process.
Please Note: As classes are offered at various locations and we recommend you review the address of the location of the class you are scheduled to attend. If you call the office on the date of the class there will not be any one to answer your questions about the location of classes.
