This laid-back, top-rated event is for anyone who's thinking of buying a condo in the next few years. Melanie Stone of Coldwell Banker and Chris Kinsella of United Home Loans will explain how to apply for a mortgage, when to begin searching for the right place, what happens once you make an offer and more.
Since 2015, Melanie and Chris have taught thousands of first-time homebuyers how to navigate the process. They've been to some pretty cool Chicago companies, and once a month, they teach for the public at WeWork.
This seminar is free to attend and open to the public. Drinks will be served.
