Thinking about buying a new home? Register now for the City of Arlington's inaugural Homeownership Fair to learn more about buying a home in today's real estate market, down payment assistance programs, credit repair and other topics.

The Homeownership Fair is scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 25 at the Arlington Convention Center, 1200 Ballpark Way.

This event will offer informational sessions on topics such as mortgage lending, foreclosure prevention, affordable housing programs, weatherization, energy savings, insurance, city home repair programs and more. Residents will have the opportunity to interact one-on-one with exhibitors from mortgage lenders, real estate agents, housing specialists, and city personnel.

'The value of attending the Homeownership Fair is that you can learn from industry professionals how to buy your American Dream. It is probably easier than you think. A home is the best investment you can make in your family's future. Remember, rent will always go up but homes get paid off,' said Tim Beary, Chairman of the Board, Arlington Board of REALTORS.

Lunch will be provided and attendees are encouraged register online in order to win door prizes. Activities will be available for children ages 6 and up. Home Depot will set up a workshop, Arlington Library will provide story time and free play, and Parks and Recreation will have tons of recreational activities.

Also, the Snow Sisters and Randy 'The Lone Wolf' Martin from the hit local TV show Texas Flip N' Move will be there for autographs and photo ops.

The Homeownership Fair is an example of the Arlington City Council's priority to Champion Great Neighborhoods in the American Dream City as well as provide a valuable service to Arlington residents. This event enables households to invest in their future, brings a sense of community and stabilization to neighborhoods, and promotes a healthy living environment while building strong communities.
