If you want to learn more about why NOW is an excellent time to purchase real estate, attend a free housing seminar and webinar on August 5. The housing seminar is designed to help buyers explore various housing options, live closer to work places, and live a more sustainable lifestyle. The innovative first-time home-buyer education seminar is geared to help Silicon Valley workers understand the changing landscape of today’s real estate market and how a more green lifestyle can also help to shorten their commute.

The scheduled keynote speakers at the free seminar are Sheila Bernus Dowd of Lookiloos.com and Quincy Virgilio, president of the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR). The speakers will cover a number of topics including insights on the home-searching and home-buying process, new web tools to assist in those processes, evaluating financial situations, and current home price and sales trends in the area.

The free “Off The Fence” housing seminar will be held in-person at the San Jose Airport Holiday Inn on August 5 at 12:00 pm with a second session set to begin at 5:00 pm. For those unable to attend in-person, a webinar will broadcast the first session at noon. The program is jointly being presented by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG), Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR), and the Greenbelt Alliance.
