Portland, Maine, Brewery to Host Free Home Buyer Happy Hour

Thinking about buying your first home but have no idea where to start? Good news — you’re not alone, and even better news — we’re here to help… with guidance and beer.

Cumberland County Federal Credit Union is offering a FREE Homebuyer Happy Hour at Rising Tide Brewing (103 Fox St, Portland) on Saturday, May 3rd from 1-2PM. Grab a tasty local beer, kick back, and learn everything you need to know about buying a home — no boring lectures, just interesting knowledge and free refreshments.

Caroline DiPietrantonio (NMLS#2588498) from CCFCU will cover all things mortgage loans — including how to snag $250 toward your closing costs just for attending!

I'll be your Realtor — Rob Riccitelli (MLS#021103) — presenting on behalf of Landing Real Estate, walking you through the homebuying process — from deciding if now's the right time, to understanding the importance of getting pre-approved before you fall in love with your dream house. We’ll talk about wants vs. needs (because no, you probably don’t need a 6-car garage), different types of homes, how to craft a strong offer, inspections, and appraisals — all the stuff that happens leading up to when you finally get those keys.

Caroline and myself will also be happy to answer any questions you may have when it comes to mortgage loans and the home buying process.

Space is limited, so RSVP at mortgage@myccfcu.com or call 207-878-3441 ext. 232.

A free class and a cold beer. Sounds like a no brainer. See you there!
