HomeBuyer Expo - Orange County Convention Center

If you’re thinking of purchasing a home in Florida, you won’t want to miss out on HomeBuyer Expo 5 being held in Orlando on June 7th at the Orange County Convention Center. The event attracts 4,000 consumers and over 100 exhibitors, with the result being new affordable housing opportunities for some attendees.

Steve Auger, Florida Housing Finance’s executive director, said that, with foreclosures on the rise and more restrictive lending practices, it’s more important than ever for consumers to be fully educated before they begin the homebuying process. Such people make better decisions about how much home they can realistically afford, what it takes to properly maintain their home once they buy, and how to select a fixed-rate mortgage that won’t reset at higher interest rates, Auger said.

The event is open from 10am to 5pm on June 7th. The event is free to attend for all, but pre-registration is requested. For more information: Florida Housing.
