The April 22 event at the Chase Center on the Riverfront, running from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., offers educational seminars on every aspect of home buying, as well as the chance to connect with service providers in the real estate, financing and home buying fields.
The event, now in its seventh year, typically draws between 350 and 400 people. Registration is strongly suggested to save a spot by visiting destatehousing.com.
