Buying a home will likely be the biggest financial decision of your life — and most first-time buyers make at least one costly mistake that could have easily been avoided.

In this free live webinar, Jason Secor (Keller Williams Realty) and Justin Petrusson (SouthPoint Bank) walk you through exactly what to watch out for and how to set yourself up for success from day one.

Here's what we'll cover:

✅ The 4 Costly Mistakes Most Buyers Make: From skipping a home inspection to going straight to the listing agent — we'll show you exactly what not to do and why it can cost you thousands.

✅ Programs You May Already Qualify For Most buyers don't know they qualify for grants, down payment assistance, or special programs. SouthPoint Bank currently offers up to $17,500 for first-time homebuyers. If you're a veteran, teacher, nurse, firefighter, police officer, or EMT — there may be even more money available to you through the Community Heroes Program.

✅ The 3 Pillars of Mortgage Approval Understand how credit, income, and down payment work together — and what you can (and can't) use for your down payment and closing costs.

✅ The Types of Loans Available to You Conventional, FHA, USDA, VA — we'll break down which loan fits your situation and how to get pre-approved with confidence.

✅ The Simple Steps to Homeownership We'll walk you through the exact process — from pre-approval to house hunting to moving into your dream home — so nothing catches you off guard.
