Pardee Home Loans/Wells Fargo Home Mortgage hosts two home purchase and financing seminars Saturday, March 29th, 2008 at Fair Oaks Ranch in the Santa Clarita Valley. Prospective homebuyers can choose a morning or afternoon session and are also invited to schedule private appointments if this is more convenient.

The first session is 10 a.m. to noon at the Hearthstone model home center, and the second is from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Fairmont model home center. Both are causal and planned for ample question/answer time; refreshments will be available.

“Home shoppers who qualify for conforming loans now have expanded purchase power,” said Steve Carlsen, branch manager for Pardee Home Loans/Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. “New, higher limits on conforming loans translate to better options for fixed-rate mortgages—and that translates to good news for shoppers seeking stable, favorable financing.”

Carlsen added that the seminars would cover other options, with qualifying assistance and individualized information. “Making sense of available choices and what’s right for your financial plan is a real challenge in today’s fluid financing climate,” said Carlsen. “We can help shoppers determine the best choices for their particular situation.”

Pardee Home Loans representatives at the upcoming seminars are Charles Capasso and Dennis Donohue.  They plan to discuss conforming and non-conforming loans, frequently asked questions, buy-downs, tax advantages of home purchase and more. “Whether you are considering a first home purchase, moving your family to a larger home, or down-sizing, these presentations can help,” said Carlsen.
