Homebuyer Education Agencies

The following homebuyer counseling agencies provide educational workshops and counseling to individuals and families interested in buying a home. These organizations have been awarded a "collaborative seal of approval", a designation by the Massachusetts Homeownership Collaborative indicating they meet the Collaborative's standards for comprehensive homebuyer education.

If you have any concerns about the quality of the homebuyer education you received, or have reason to believe one of these organizations is not adhering to the Collaborative’s Code of Ethics, please contact us here. Your name will be kept strictly confidential.

By participating in a first-time homebuyer counseling workshop, prospective buyers learn about the entire homebuying process, including how to deal with credit issues, working with a real estate agent, applying for a mortgage, and more. Participants may also be able to access special affordable mortgage products and other homebuyer services.

Some of the agencies listed below also offer post-ownership workshops for people who want to learn more about maintaining homeownership, being a good landlord, financing home improvements, etc.

For more information, please contact a homebuyer counseling agency in your area. We wish you the best in your search for an affordable home.
