The Arlington Association of Realtors said the grant money will be used to educate prospective homebuyers about available financial assistance programs, their rights as homeowners and how to maintain their homes after they buy.
“We look forward to partnering with the City of Arlington, Mayor Ross, City Council and Grants Administrator Dr. Nikki Lewis to help improve housing availability, affordability and accessibility for all,” said Taylor Oldroyd, CEO of ARBOR REALTORS®.
The 2024 Homeownership Fair is open to anyone interested in homeownership, whether they are a current homeowner, actively considering buying a home, or simply want to learn more about the homebuying process and what it takes to become a homeowner.
In addition to partnering with the Arlington Association of Realtors, the City is also working with the Hispanic Real Estate Brokers Association and the Housing Channel to provide valuable resources and information for prospective homebuyers during the fair. The fair will feature more than 40 vendors and agents providing valuable information and products, as well as information sessions in English and Spanish throughout the day.
