How to be a Homebuyer 🏠 Workshop: Free Wine🍷 & Cheese 🧀
Cross Country Mortgage, 6101 Ball Rd STE 101, Cypress, CA, 90630, United States
Let’s be honest: discussing debt-to-income ratios is significantly better with a glass of Cabernet and a slice of Manchego.
If you’ve spent the last year watching home prices while your rent check disappears into the void, it’s time to trade the Zillow scrolling for some actual strategy!
We’re hosting an in-person, no-BS workshop designed for those who are ready to stop wondering “what if” and start looking for “the one.”
Join **Kimberly and David** with **Living CA Realty** for an evening of local market insights, lending secrets, and zero-pressure education. We’re getting straight to the tactics you need to win a bid in 2026.
### **The Itinerary**
* **6:30PM – 7 PM:** The “Pre-Game.” Arrive early to grab a glass of wine, hit the cheese board, and decompress from the workday.
* **7 PM – 8 PM:** The Strategy. We’ll dive into the 2026 market, down payment reality checks, and how to get mortgage-ready.
* **8 PM :** Stick around for Q&A. We’ll stay until the last question is answered (or the wine runs out).
### **We’re covering the essentials:**
* **Market Logistics:** Why 2026 is different and how to navigate it.
* **The Money:** Down payments, closing costs, and hidden expenses (no gatekeeping here).
* **The Team:** Insights from your favorite realtors (**David Sanchez** and **Kimberly Smith**) and one of our favorite lenders.
Perks for Attendees:
* Free snacks and beverages
* We’ll share details about our new program offering up to $1,400 in benefits toward your future home purchase
Come for the Brie, stay for the keys.
