Comprehensive home ownership resource available
 

The Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors’^® , PMAR, are sharing information regarding PMAR’s unique one-stop public service resource website www.hownw.com - that acts as a comprehensive homeownership resource to homebuyers.  Their goal is for the community to see the value of this public service information by linking to HOWNW.com™. 

HOWNW.com™ contains a searchable, multi-lingual database of home buying programs available in Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties. Homebuyers may enter the area they wish to live in, number of people in their household, and their annual income to discover what financial programs and resources are available to help them become homeowners. 

The website walks consumers through the home buying process and includes features such as 100 Questions and Answers for Buying a Home, information on finding a loan, a real estate glossary and much more. In addition, information on consumer issues such as avoiding foreclosure and rescue scams, predatory lending, finding a healthy home and credit is provided to help educate all consumers, including potential homebuyers.  

Homebuyers may also turn to HOWNW.com™ for a list of home buying seminars that meet the requirements for homebuyer counseling required by some loan and assistance programs.

For questions about the service or the site call 503-459-2162 or email dwinand@pmar.org with any questions you may have.
