FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chicago, Illinois, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 12, 2012 --For Release: Immediate - Chicago, IL January 12th, 2012 Family Credit Management Services (FCMS) announces convenient online pre-purchase housing counseling with one of the lowest fees in the industry.

An increasing number of lenders now sensibly require potential home buyers to be educated prior to closing on their first home. This type of course is also a frequent requirement prior to approval of any down payment assistance program.

In the past, most home buyers would sit through classes; often taking time away from work or paying for child care. Affordable high-quality classes are now available online. Offering these classes through the internet will also provide opportunities to consumers in rural areas where local classes may not exist or travel becomes more challenging. According to Michael McAuliffe, president of Family Credit, “If more people had completed this type of course in the past they may have avoided some of the dangerous contracts which they did not understand and later could not afford.”

This course, offered through eHome America, covers all the basics of buying and shopping for a home including creating a household spending plan to make sure you are aware of the costs and can truly afford home ownership, securing a mortgage, understanding credit, maintaining your home after purchase, and much more. Upon completion of the course consumers will be provided with a certificate of completion which may be presented to your lender, and often is a requirement for mortgage approval.

“I am so excited that this valuable class is now available online. Everyone can benefit from having a bit more knowledge about homeownership and general money management” says Laura Robinson, Certified Housing Counselor of FCMS.
Michael McAuliffe, president of FCMS, says “Now there is simply no reason not to complete this course, this is a valuable program. It is available online at times you choose, and the cost is minimal. The fact that we were able to offer this quality program at a very affordable price made it that much more gratifying.”

The cost for online pre-purchase counseling is only $39 for the complete session. Home buyers interested in receiving the course can register on our website www.familycredit.org.
