Frequently asked questions

If I sign up along with someone else, do we have to be on separate zooms?

No! As long as you are both fully registered and have your camera on for attendance, you can be on the same zoom.

Where do I get the zoom link for class?

The links to Zoom will be emailed to you the day before class.

Are there breaks?

We will take 10 minute breaks at intervals throughout class so you aren't sitting for 5 straight hours!

When will I get my Certificate of Completion for the Down-Payment Assistance?

Peter will email you the required evaluation form and once that has been completed and returned, Jana will send your certificate within a few days.

Will I get home buyer resources for the class?

Yes! You will get resources once the class is finish.

How long is the down payment assistance certificate good for?

2 years after your class completion date.

Do I have to keep my camera on for the entirety of the class?

"The Washington State Housing Finance Commission (WSHFC) requires participants to remain on camera for the entire duration of the class to qualify for the certificate. Brief absences are allowed if necessary, but your camera must remain on throughout the seminar."

Can we register together or do we need to do it individually?

You can register for the class together and share the same camera if you prefer. However, anyone who will be part of the loan (which differs from being listed on the home’s title) must complete a separate registration.
