It’s Your Move
The Pennsylvania REALTOR Education Foundation (PREF) has a mission to “enhance the professionalism and profitability of real estate licensees in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by funding and supporting industry research and the development of timely, relevant and practical educational tools and projects.”
One of those tools is “It’s Your Move.” What began as a REALTOR outreach program to educate high school students and their parents about renting property BEFORE they sign that first lease has turned into a self study on-line session. Now there are two impressive power point programs to help you navigate through the transaction! One is geared for the high school level and the other for college.
The modules below outline the high school course content.
1. Credit
2. Renting a home or apartment
3. Financing
4. Buying a home
In these days knowing what credit is, how you get it, and why it’s critical to your future success is the building block of the program. Renting a home or apartment reviews the types of properties you may consider, paper work, landlords, rights and responsibilities to name a few! Financing is more about budgeting so that you can pay your bills. Buying a home discusses types of mortgages and has a check list of steps to follow.
We hope this program will help you to be prepared for your first home away from home! Feel free to use any or all these materials and let us know how they’ve helped you!
