Online Homebuyer Education

What is eHome America?

HomeSmartNY and eHome America are partnering together to provide to provide online homebuyer education to first time home buyers across New York State. Customers take a 3-5 hour online course through eHome America and on completion, follow up with an hour of one-on-one homeownership counseling with a participating HomeSmartNY member housing counseling agency. Counseling can be completed in-person or by phone and is available in all regions of the state. Customers will receive a certificate of completion after meeting with a housing counselor. Meeting with a counselor is a crucial part of homebuyer education, as they can help you find out if you qualify for grants in your area.
