Class Description
Everything They Don’t Tell You About Life After Closing
Closing day isn’t the end—it’s the beginning. From setting up your utilities and filing your homestead exemption to understanding your mortgage, property taxes, and tapping into your home’s equity, this class covers everything new homeowners need to know.
You’ll learn how refinancing works, when to consider a home equity loan or HELOC, and how to use your equity smartly. We break it all down clearly so you can make strong financial decisions and avoid common first-year mistakes.
We’ll also show you what paperwork to file, how to confirm your deed and tax records, how escrow accounts actually work, and what to expect from your mortgage statements. You’ll even get tools to stay organized, avoid scams, and know when to reach out to your agent, lender, or title company.
This isn’t just about homeownership—it’s about owning it with confidence.
