What to Expect From This Webinar

Thinking about buying your first home in San Diego but not sure where to start? You are not alone, and you are in the right place.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, especially in a market like San Diego. How much do you really need to save? What credit score do you need? Are there loan programs that can help? And is buying still possible with today’s home prices and mortgage rates?

This free Zoom webinar is hosted by the Hansen-Tyler Team at CrossCountry Mortgage, a local mortgage team that helps San Diego buyers move from “I don’t know if I can afford this” to having a clear plan for homeownership.

In one hour, we’ll walk you through how the process works, what it really costs, and the loan programs many first-time buyers do not know exist.

You’ll get straightforward guidance, real San Diego examples, and live Q&A throughout.

What You'll Learn

  • How homeownership can help build long-term wealth and stability
  • The home loan process, step by step
  • Loan programs with low down payment options, including 0% down options for qualified buyers
  • What credit score, income, and savings you may need
  • How much to save for your down payment and closing costs
  • Real San Diego mortgage examples with monthly payments and estimated cash to close
  • What today’s housing market means for first-time buyers
  • How to know when you are ready to start looking

Who This Is For

This webinar is for anyone who has never bought a home or has not owned one in the past three years.

Whether you are still saving, just starting to explore, or getting ready to begin your home search, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your options and a realistic path forward.

The best buyers are the ones who walk in prepared. Spend an hour with us and start your home search with clarity instead of guesswork.

Garret was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to support us with our home buying experience. He helped us move quickly to qualify and complete a short escrow on time. With the help of Garrett and his team, we were able to beat out an all cash offer on the home we wanted and get our loan approved quickly at a competitive rate. I would definitely recommend him to other friends and family looking for a lender.

“The team was amazing to work with. Professionalism, transparency, and an extreme sense of urgency to do what needs to get done on time. They also have a great portal to upload all necessary documentation to help maintain data security. If I had more stars I would score the company higher. They helped us purchase a dream second home, and we couldn't be happier. I've worked with many other lenders in past, and these people are by far the best! I won't think twice before working with them again.”

“From the beginning to the end of our escrow, everyone on the team was absolutely amazing! In our previous home purchase, we had a horrible experience with our lender and were very apprehensive going forward. But everyone we worked with was professional, helpful, and always available! We felt supported every step of the way and everyone was just so kind and easy to work with! I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone going forward!!! We couldn't be more happy!”
