Real estate agent Jimmy Jones partnered with Chase Bank to host the “Chase Your Dream First-Time Homebuyer Seminar” at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE) on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

“Investors look like y’all — they look like everyday people,” said Jones as he opened the seminar. The East Atlanta native was motivated to start the seminar after being a realtor for 13 years, after graduating from Florida A&M University (FAMU). He noticed that most of the people buying homes were first-time buyers.

“We don’t want people out here with misinformation,” he said. “So we wanted to provide a chance for people to build their resources and a team to help them buy their first home.”

Attendees were educated on the steps they could take to own their first home with their current income.
