Monson Savings Bank has designed this workshop to break down the homebuying process from start to finish in an easily digestible format, focusing on the fundamentals. It was developed to be informative, friendly, and actionable, ensuring attendees leave the event feeling hopeful and supported as they take steps toward homeownership.
The event will be hosted by Monson Savings Bank’s homebuying experts Wil Morales, Terry Poloski, and Brett Charron, who will provide real, helpful advice and answers to attendees’ questions, as well as cheat sheets, tools, and a clear plan to make homeownership possible.
"What we love about this format is that it caters to everyone. From those just beginning to consider homeownership, or feeling overwhelmed by the process, to those who feel homeownership is out of reach, and even to those who simply want to learn more and feel confident during the homebuying process," said Wil Morales, Monson Savings Bank AVP and Community Lending Officer. "We are here providing the resources and support to move forward, prepare for the next steps, and get community members on the path to homeownership."
Monson Savings will provide registrants with complimentary light refreshments and free parking. To further support the homebuying success, registered attendees will be gifted a special coupon offer of up to $585 off appraisal fee*, along with an opportunity to win gift card drawing prizes.**
“Owning a home can bring joy, helps build equity, offers stability, and fosters a sense of community. We want to continue to do our part as a community bank to break down barriers and be a resource that can help individuals and families to enjoy and benefit from becoming homeowners,” said Wil Morales, Monson Savings Bank AVP and Community Lending Officer. “We encourage anyone who may be interested to register or call us so we can help them to get ready for all homeownership has to offer.”
Pre-registration is required for the Monson Savings Bank Homebuying 101: Your Path to Homeownership event, taking place on Thursday, March 12 at Red Rose Pizzeria in Springfield.
