Novus Texas Launches Free Homeownership Education Series Across the Dallas–Fort Worth Area

In Partnership with Ebby Halliday Realtors, Novus Texas Brings Practical Mortgage and Real Estate Education Directly to DFW Communities

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, April 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Novus Texas, the Dallas-based regional branch of Novus Home Mortgage, has announced a new community education initiative in partnership with Ebby Halliday Realtors. The Homeownership Series is a free, multi-session program bringing practical mortgage and real estate education directly to neighborhoods across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Sessions are presented by Shawn Fehily, Co-Founder of Novus Texas, alongside Sarah Fallin, a seasoned residential real estate agent with Ebby Halliday Realtors.

The series is designed to meet homeowners and buyers where they live, hosting sessions within local communities so that residents can access expert guidance without having to seek it out on their own. Each event pairs Fehily’s mortgage expertise with Fallin’s deep knowledge of the DFW real estate market, creating a curriculum that is both comprehensive and immediately actionable.

“Most homeowners don’t fully understand the financial levers available to them, things like recasting a loan, removing PMI early, or using equity strategically. This series exists to change that. We want every attendee to walk away with real clarity and a plan they can act on.” Shawn Fehily, Branch Manager, Novus Texas

Each session in the Homeownership Series is free to attend and open to residents within participating DFW communities. The 12-topic curriculum covers the full spectrum of homeownership decisions, including:

• Annual homeowner reviews, understanding payments, equity, and market position
• Refinance vs. recast vs. extra payment strategies
• Texas escrow, property tax, and insurance fundamentals
• Home equity options: HELOC, home equity loans, and cash-out refinance
• PMI removal strategies and appraisal preparation
• Renovation return on investment: what buyers actually reward
• Coordinating a buy-sell transaction without disruption
• Credit, debt-to-income, and cash flow optimization
• Texas homeowner’s insurance, coverage gaps, and claim impacts
• Converting a primary residence to a rental property
• Buying investment properties: deal math and financing paths
• Building a 12-month home and mortgage decision roadmap

Novus Texas plans to expand the series to additional communities throughout the DFW area. Homeowner associations, real estate offices, and community organizations interested in hosting a session are encouraged to reach out directly.
