Join the Recent Alumni and Current Students Committee (RACS) of the Stevens Alumni Association for the next installment in the Adulting 101 Series. The session on Wednesday, February 23rd, from 12 – 1 p.m. (ET) will focus on the real estate marketplace.
Purchasing a home is a serious investment and can be very intimidating, especially if you're a first-time homebuyer. Looking back at the real estate market from the last two years, you may wonder if it's even worth it. Our session's guests will walk participants through the home-buying process, discuss pros and cons and share what you need to be prepared for when making the biggest purchase of your life. Session participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in polls. Participants will also be automatically entered in a prize drawing for Stevens swag.
Register today and prepare to learn what you’ll need to know for purchasing your first home, what the future of the real estate market looks like and many other tips from our homebuying experts.
