Realtor Training (8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.)
Join other realtors, lenders, nonprofit affordable housing organizations, government agencies, and civic officials at this unique forum to promote homeownership opportunities in Hawaii. The realtor training is primarily for local realtors and will focus on risk management.

Homeownership Forum (11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.)
Everyone deserves access to homeownership, and focusing on first-time homebuyers is a great source of business for lenders and realtors. Sometimes a slight drop in the monthly house payment is all the individual needs to qualify to purchase their first home.

Join other attendees to:

• Hear an update on the current state of homeownership in your area
• Learn about available down payment assistance programs that can help you qualify first-time homebuyers
• Share your challenges in helping first-time homebuyers become homeowners
• Discover the resources offered by local homebuyer counseling agencies and how you can collaborate with them to increase homeownership
• Receive an update on foreclosures in Hawaii and how you can assist distressed borrowers
• Network with others interested in increasing homeownership in your area
