First Time Home Buyer Programs

We help first-time homeowners navigate the home buying process. We focus on you, your specific situation, and affordability. 

Where to begin?


1) Assemble your team
Choosing the right realtor and lending partner is key to buying your new home.

2) Educate yourself
How much mortgage can you afford? Do you need to work on your budget? What steps should you take prior to applying? Our financial education partner, Banzai, can help you navigate through all those questions and run through interactive scenarios.

3) Get pre-qualified
Before you begin your house hunting journey, take the first step by figuring out how much you can afford and get pre-qualified with your local lender. This is a no cost, no obligation exercise that will answer your questions about the financial responsibilities of purchasing a home before you actually apply for a loan.

4) Contact your local lender
Your local lender will be your main point of contact in getting you started in the loan process.

One of the biggest perks of home ownership is the ability to build equity over time. You can borrow against the equity that you have built in your property if it makes sense and is affordable. 2nd mortgages are a lien against your property with another monthly mortgage payment, so it is wise to consider both short and long term consequences of adding debt attached to your home. We are here to advise and talk through scenarios to help you arrive at a sound, comfortable decision for you. Reducing interest costs and loan terms are great factors to consider.
