Workshops scheduled for home buyers

Brayson Homes will host Home Buyers Workshops this Saturday, April 26, at the model homes in three of its communities: Carlton Chase in Dacula, Deer Creek in Union City, and Bellaire at SummerGrove in Newnan.

In staging the workshops, Brayson Homes is working with the Home Buyers Assistance Foundation to provide free workshops and one-on-one counseling to support individuals throughout the entire home buying process. The workshops will be held from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., and reservations are required since seating is limited. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

Each attendee will receive a certificate entitling the bearer to purchase a new Brayson home with as little as $500 down. Details of this promotion can be obtained from the agents in the communities.
