- Referral to the most beneficial mortgage loan program for your individual situation.
- Access to all available State or Federal down payment / purchase assistance programs you are eligible for.
- The ability to access SHIP purchase assistance funds to partner or layer with other state or federal funds if available.
- Information and connection with the network of home builders and developers who are working with us to provide affordable housing locally.
- Coordinates interaction between the credit counselor, mortgage consultant, lender, purchase assistance programs, builder/developer or realtor and closing agent.
