  • Understanding insurances
  • Types of mortgages
  • The homebuying process
  • Realtors
  • What to expect during the application process
  • What to look for/look out for when viewing homes

Our Fraud Officer, Heidi Kiecker, rounded out the show by sharing information on vacation scams and how you can protect yourself and your family from them.
