DHIC's Homeownership Counselors help potential buyers become mortgage-ready by delivering standardized counseling and training developed by the NeighborWorks America. Through homebuyer education, budget planning, and credit counseling, clients of DHIC's Homeownership Center develop and implement a homeownership plan tailored to their individual needs and circumstances.


Here's how you can take advantage of DHIC's Homeownership Center programs:
DHIC's Saundra Harper provides one-on-one counseling to a prospective homeowner.
  1. First, you will need to complete a DHIC Homeownership Pre-Qualification Questionnaire.

    The questionaire is available in Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word format.
    Please choose your desired format here:
    PDF
    Microsoft Word

    After completing the questionaire, drop it off at our office or mail it to us:

    DHIC, Inc.
    113 S. Wilmington Street
    Raleigh, NC 27601

    When we receive your application, a DHIC Homeownership Counselor will review your questionnaire, pull your credit report, and determine whether you are ready to apply for a mortgage or whether you may need additional help from DHIC.


  2. Once your questionnaire has been reviewed, you will be asked to attend a Homeownership Center Orientation Session. After this required session, a Homeownership Counselor will set up a one-on-one counseling session to answer your questions and discuss budgeting, credit issues, or other potential obstacles to homeownership.


  3. If you choose to move forward, you will be required to complete twelve hours of Homebuyer Training at DHIC, including classes and individual counseling sessions.


    Sheila Porter gets to the heart of the matter during a recent DHIC Homebuyer Training class.

  4. When you and your counselor determine that you are ready for homeownership, your counselor will help you identify financing, advise you of DHIC homes for sale, and will refer you to a Partner Lender and Realtor that is particularly knowledgeable about the first-time homebuyers' market.
