Southern California Home Buyer's Fair Draws Nearly 5,000 Attendees

Nearly 5,000 consumers attended the Southern California Home Buyer's Fair held April 12 and 13 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Co-sponsored by C.A.R. and the Los Angeles Times, the free Southern California Home Buyer's Fair featured more than 60 educational "how-to" seminars designed to help home buyers navigate today's real estate market, as well as 75 exhibitors and industry experts who provided vital information about programs and services pertaining to homeownership and the home-buying process.

"The robust turnout at C.A.R's Home Buyer's Fair reflects the need for educational events of this kind," said C.A.R. President William E. Brown. "C.A.R. is pleased to have had the support of the Los Angles Times, its corporate sponsors, exhibitors, and seminar presenters in offering this crucial, hands-on approach to helping would-be buyers move closer to achieving their dream of becoming homeowners."

Most of the educational seminars were provided in English and Spanish and covered home-buying topics ranging from local and state financing programs for first-time buyers; the value and process of the home inspection; monitoring a credit report; how to invest in real estate; and how to purchase a home in foreclosure.
