Dear Lending Partners: Please note we would like to encourage you to immediately notify your borrowers about the required eHome course. Most homebuyers are required to complete a follow up housing counseling session upon completion of the course. It may take 5-7 business days to complete the counseling session so please plan accordingly. If you wait to inform them about the course late in the borrowing process, they are likely to RUSH through the course not to mention they could miss a closing date if they take it at the last minute and we are not able to immediately get with them to complete their counseling session. The complaint I receive most often is borrowers are not notified by their lenders early enough in the process about the eHome course.  We have had borrowers complete the course the day they are scheduled to go to closing! PLEASE let your borrowers know about the course on day one so they can take more time completing the course and not be rushed. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Homebuyers: Please read below before you begin registration:

1. All Borrowers on the loan (Borrower and co-borrower if applicable) will need to register and pay the course fee separately.
2. Only the borrower and/or co-borrower must complete the registration and the online course.
3. After completing the online course, a telephone counseling is required with the pre-selected counseling agency to obtain your certificate.

You will be required to contact HomesFund to schedule a one-on-one counseling sesion in order to receive your certificate of completion.

HomesFund promises to complete your phone session, and get you a certificate, within two business days of you completing the online course AND scheduling a phone session with us.
