Jackson, Mich. (WKHM) — Nicole Johnson and Monica Mays are Jackson’s Mortgage Chicks and this week they are hosting a first-time home buyers event.

Getting started early is helpful, especially if you need to come up with a game plan.

If you are considering buying a home this year, Monica said there are a couple things you should do first.

Before you start looking, connect with a mortgage loan officer first, so you can know what you should be looking at.

The event is today, February 25, at 5:30 p.m. for registration. The program begins at 6 p.m. at Lean Rocket Lab in downtown Jackson.
