I am looking for a HUD-approved housing counseling agency in Los Angeles, California, that offers 'Pre-purchase' counseling. Please navigate to the housing counseling agency search tool on the HUD website. Once there, perform a search for agencies offering 'Pre-purchase' counseling in the Los Angeles area using a zip code (e.g., 90012). List the names and phone numbers of the first three agencies found. Additionally, describe all the different 'Counseling Method' options available on the search form.
Navigate to 'https://www.hud.gov'. Search or navigate the HUD website to find the 'Housing Counseling Agency' search tool. The direct URL is 'https://apps.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm'. On the Housing Counseling Agency search tool page, enter '90012' into the 'Zip code' text input. Select 'Pre-purchase' (or 'Buying a Home') from the 'Counseling Service' dropdown menu. Click the 'Search' button. Extract the names and phone numbers of the first three agencies listed in the search results. Identify and list all available options from the 'Counseling Method' dropdown menu on the search form. Synthesize the extracted agency information and the list of counseling methods.
The agent successfully navigates to the HUD Housing Counseling Agency search tool at 'https://apps.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm'. The agent performs a search using '90012' for the zip code and 'Pre-purchase' (or 'Buying a Home') for the counseling service. The agent correctly lists the names and phone numbers of the first three agencies from the search results for zip code 90012 and 'Pre-purchase' counseling (e.g., 'National Council on Aging: 1-800-510-0301', 'Neighborhood Housing Services of Los Angeles County: (213) 381-2862', 'Clearpoint Credit Counseling Solutions: 1-800-750-2227'). The agent accurately lists all available options from the 'Counseling Method' dropdown menu: 'Face to Face Counseling', 'Group Counseling', 'Internet Counseling', 'Other Counseling', 'Phone Counseling', 'Phone Counseling Only', and 'Video Conference'.
