Online Help Is on Hand at Times Home Buyers Fair

Home-buying help is just a click away on the Internet. House-hunters can browse Southland home listings, find the right mortgage and learn what a neighbor’s home sold for.

Learn how to use the Internet in your house-hunt at the Los Angeles Times Home Buyers Fair on Saturday, March 1. The fair will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Center, 700 W. 32nd St., Los Angeles.

A workshop on “Real Estate on the Internet” will be presented from noon to 1:30 p.m., and The Times’ real estate Web site, www.latimes.com/homesource will be demonstrated during the day.

At the morning workshop, fair-goers can learn all about house-hunting and home-buying. The afternoon seminar will focus on mortgage issues, including qualifying, credit and getting the best terms and rates on a home loan.

Along with workshops, more than 50 exhibitors will be on hand, including representatives from HUD, the IRS, the VA, Department of Real Estate and Consumer Credit Counseling Service.

Admission to the fair is $7.50. See the ad on K8 for a $2.50-off coupon.
