Homebuying With Confidence offers free first-time homebuyer classes throughout the Greater Seattle area, including Bellevue and Tacoma. These classes aim to educate potential buyers about the home buying process in a supportive environment. Weekly sessions are hosted at accessible locations, such as WeWork in South Lake Union and Avenue Properties in Downtown Bellevue. The workshops vary in format, offering both a comprehensive 5-hour session led by the Washington State Housing & Finance Commission (WSHFC) and a shorter 75- to 90-minute version created by founder Julian Michael Aguirre.

Participants can expect an engaging experience where they can ask questions and receive valuable materials related to home buying. The classes emphasize education first, empowering attendees with knowledge about local market dynamics and practical action items to take toward becoming homeowners. With refreshments provided and a welcoming atmosphere, these workshops are designed to ease concerns for first-time buyers while promoting confidence in their ability to navigate the real estate market successfully.
