Homebuyer Education Update
Many Homebuyer Education Agencies may be closed to outside guests at this time. However, many are working remotely and offer online education as an option as well as virtual classes in a webinar format. Please note the Homebuyer Education Certificate you receive is the same whether you complete the course online or in person. If you are having trouble reaching an agency please contact CHAPA at 617-742-0820.
