Diya likes passing on the knowledge that he learns as well. He holds Home Buyers Seminars around Oakland and Wayne Counties in Michigan. In his seminars, he teaches the terminology, expectations, and the steps of home buying, “The process from A to Z” as Diya says. He welcomes anyone with interest to come and learn, and the seminars are also free to attend.

Diya’s most recent Home Buyers Seminar was on September 19 at the Canfield Community Center in Dearborn Heights. He focused on the $8000 tax credit for first-time home buyers, short sales, and foreclosure prevention, three important topics for new home buyers to be aware of.

The Home Buyers Seminars target an older crowd, but Diya loves to teach younger generations as well. He believes that providing kids with the knowledge early on will set them up for success in the future. This is why he also takes time to be an active participant at the Islamic Center of America and the Landmark Education Group. He enjoys teaching kids about self-development, responsibility, and interactions.

Diya’s goal is, “to reach out to the youth of the community to help them learn to set goals and be responsible at a very young age, so that they can be successful in life”
