SAFE Credit Union webinar to offer tips, resources on homebuying

By Sara Beth Williams–
A free mortgage webinar is taking place this December for residents looking for tips and resources when it comes to buying a home.

SAFE Credit Union’s mortgage and financial education experts are organizing the “Journeying to Homebuying” webinar, which is scheduled to take place from 12 to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12.

“I truly believe that if it meets your needs and affordability, it’s always a good time to buy a home,” SAFE Credit Union Home Loan Consultant Melinda Browning said in a Nov. 25 press release. Browning will facilitate the upcoming webinar.

Topics scheduled for discussion include an overview on credit, down payments and interest rates, as well as the credit union’s SAFE Home Rewards program where borrowers and members can receive 0.5 percent, equaling thousands of dollars, back on the purchase price of a new home.

“We have seen a lot of changes in the market in the past few months, making it even more vital for those looking to buy a home to seek out the most current available information,” Browning said.

Nate Dungca, SAFE Credit Union Home Loan Consultant at the Sunrise Branch in Citrus Heights, said the homebuying webinar will give people purchasing their first home “the confidence to start their next steps.”

“Many times members may not be ready to purchase a home, and it is our role to give them the tools and knowledge so that in the near future they can put themselves in position to do so,” said Dungca.

Residents can register for the free webinar on SAFE Credit Union’s website.
