First Time Home Buyer Workshop Coming to Colonial Beach – Free Brunch, Buyer Guides & Expert Help

 Colonial Beach Realtor Hosts Free First-Time Home Buyer Workshop with Free Resources & Brunch

Colonial Beach, VA — 6/07/2025
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re not sure where to start. But one local realtor is working to change that. On Saturday, July 19th, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Jamaal Dickerson, a trusted Colonial Beach realtor with Coldwell Banker Elite, is hosting a FREE First Time Home Buyer Workshop designed to empower local residents with the tools, resources, and confidence they need to begin their homeownership journey.

Held at 233 North Irving Avenue in Colonial Beach, this in-person workshop is open to first-time home buyers, renters, young families, and anyone thinking about making the move from renting to owning. Seating is limited, and attendees are encouraged to reserve a spot early by scanning the QR code on the flyer or texting 804-761-1690.

“So many people in our community think they can’t buy a home — either because of credit concerns, lack of information, or fear of the unknown,” said Jamaal Dickerson. “But with the right guidance, support, and strategy, I’ve seen renters become homeowners and build equity fast — some gaining over $100,000 in value in just a few years.”


🔍 What You’ll Learn: Real Advice from Local Experts

This isn’t your average sales pitch in disguise. This workshop is educational, honest, and designed to give attendees a clear roadmap to homeownership. Jamaal will be joined by Nick Bohn of Bohn Mortgage Lending, a seasoned loan officer who understands the challenges and questions first-time buyers face in today’s housing market.

Together, they’ll cover topics including:

  • How to buy with as little as $0 down

  • What it takes to qualify for a home loan in 2025

  • The 5-step path to homeownership — simplified and explained

  • Mistakes that cost first-time buyers thousands — and how to avoid them

  • How homeownership builds generational wealth

Every attendee will walk away with a free home buyer guide, a clear next step based on their unique situation, and the chance to ask real questions in a no-pressure setting.


🍽️ Free Light Refreshments & Community Connection

In addition to expert guidance, guests will enjoy a light brunch served on-site, offering a welcoming space to learn, connect, and grow.

“This isn’t just about real estate,” Jamaal explained. “It’s about giving people a chance to break free from the rent cycle and make smart moves for their families. Plus, I’m from here — Colonial Beach raised me. So I take pride in helping local residents realize that homeownership is possible, even in a small town.”


💼 Who Should Attend?

This free workshop is ideal for:

  • Renters who feel stuck paying someone else’s mortgage

  • First-time home buyers confused by the process

  • Young families looking to settle down

  • Anyone unsure about credit scores, down payments, or pre-approvals

  • Colonial Beach and King George residents who want to learn from LOCAL experts

Whether you’re six months or six years away from buying, this session can help you plan smarter, save better, and avoid common traps that cost first-time buyers time and money.


🏠 Why This Matters for Colonial Beach

With home prices steadily rising and interest rates fluctuating, first-time buyers in Colonial Beach need local guidance now more than ever. Many larger real estate platforms offer generic advice that doesn’t apply to the unique dynamics of small towns like Colonial Beach, King George, and Westmoreland County.

As a local real estate agent, community leader, and single father, Jamaal knows the importance of both home and opportunity. His mission is not only to help people buy houses, but to help families build futures.

“We’re not here to push homes,” said Nick Bohn. “We’re here to educate, to guide, and to help people make one of the most important financial decisions of their life — the right way.”
