Embarking on the journey to homeownership is a significant milestone for young adults. We take young adults on Financial Field Trips to visit realtors, demystify the real estate process, and empower them with knowledge. There are many benefits of young adults visiting a realtor's office, and we provide a list of insightful questions for our young adults to ask the real estate agent during their Financial Field Trip.
Top 4 Benefits of Visiting a Realtor's Office:
Understanding the Real Estate Market: Visiting a realtor's office allows our young adults to gain first-hand knowledge about the local real estate market. They learn about current trends, property values, and potential investment opportunities.
Navigating the Homebuying Process: Without financial literacy, the complex home-buying process can overwhelm first-time buyers. In the classroom, Diapers 2 Deposits Investing in Real Estate course provides the foundational knowledge of the home buying process. While on Financial Field Trips with Diapers 2 Deposits, young adults expand their knowledge by taking notes from Maryland Realtor Jamel Laval: WeDoRealEstate.
Introduction to Financial Planning: We explore realtors' relationships with mortgage professionals. Financial field trippers learn about the financial aspects of homeownership, including mortgage options, down payments, and budgeting for homeownership.
Exploring Neighborhoods: Realtors offer insights into local communities. According to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety, "Heavily littered neighborhoods experience more vandalism and other crimes. Litter signals to criminals that residents don't care about what happens in their neighborhood and makes the area more vulnerable." Financial field trippers learn how important it is to take care of their neighborhood and watch for buying signals when house shopping.

By the end of Diapers 2 Deposits Financial Field Trip, our young adults understand the pros and cons of homeownership versus renting. They receive a comprehensive overview of the home-buying process and learn market trends about when and where to invest in real estate. Explore mortgage options to gain insight into the financial commitments of homeownership and learn about potential pitfalls when navigating the real estate market. Understanding how to assess a property's potential for appreciation is crucial for those interested in real estate as an investment.
