The expo gave homebuyers the opportunity to interact with a multitude of lenders, and immediately compare their offerings,” said Dr. Charles Butler, Vice President of Equitable Development. “This one-day event was a wonderful introduction to information we provide in our more extensive four-week training, offered Thursdays at the Muriel Petioni Plaza on 146th Street.
