Weekly home buyers seminars begin May 5 in Carson City

Home buying seminars will be held every other Tuesday in Carson City beginning this week

The seminars will be 5:30 - 7 p.m. at Western Title, 2310 S. Carson St., Suite 5-B in the Quail Park business center.

Topics include qualifying for a loan, making an offer on short sale and foreclosure properties, and the escrow process.

The seminars focus on first-time buyers, who may not be aware of the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Better known as the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit, this legislation raises the credit from $7,500 to $8,000, among other provisions that make home buying this year advantageous.

Also covered will be the new USDA loans and other loan products.

The seminars are offered by Sheri Wilson of Prudential Nevada Realty, Janet Willson of Nevada Property Mortgage and Donna Peacocke of Western Title.

Seminars will also be held in Minden every other Thursday night. For reservations or further information, call Sheri Wilson at 775-450-2657 or Janet Willson at 775- 790-0595.
