Добавлено: 23 мар 2007, 14:28
Vancouver-area young people are eager to purchase their first homes, but many of them need a little help to de-mystify the process. What location is best? What type of home is best matched to needs? What mortgage type and term to choose? What are the legal considerations? What are the benefits of builder licensing, warranties and homeowner protection?
These and other key questions will be answered by a panel of housing experts at the 13th Annual Seminar for First-time Home Buyers, presented by the Greater Vancouver Home Builders' Association (GVHBA) on Tuesday, March 27 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Guildford Sheraton Hotel Ballroom, 15269 104 Avenue, Surrey.
