Crash Course on Real Estate

Published on Apr 20, 2017

Explaining the home buying process is part of our Santa Clarita real estate education we give to our home buying clients. Buying a condo, townhomes or single family residence can be tricky if you don't know what to expect. While most people retain about 30% after our presentation, they are better for the experience and typically best informed to undergo the real estate experience of buying residential real estate. I'm Connor MacIvor with REMAX and we have several options for our home buyers when it comes to search - check out our real multiple listing service website: scvnest.com and call me when you are ready to attend your own personal crash course on real estate.
