The goal of the game is to help first time home buyers understand the issues they will face as a new home buyer with a focus on budgeting.  The game builds problem-solving skills based around home issues and ultimately assists in giving the “know-how” to enable homeowners to keep their homes.

What Are People Saying About the Home Ownership Reality Game™?

Here is what some participants had to say about their Home Ownership Reality Game™ experience: “After today I am thinking to myself: OK, you want to own a home? This is what it takes, what it requires. Are you ready for this?” “I’m going to go home and do some re-evaluating . . . what is my next step? There are some things I did yesterday that I’m not going to do tomorrow.” “When we began this game I said ‘I’m going to hire the plumber, hire the electrician. I’m not going to do it.’ Now I’m thinking maybe I’ll buy the home repair book, because $10 versus $100… maybe I will get on the ladder and do it myself.” “When I go home today I’m going to find out where certain things are in my house. There are certain things I want to know.”
