Straight Answers

The Questions Everyone Asks Us.

Does this cost me anything?

Nothing. Our consultation is free. We're paid as your agent when you buy — not for this conversation.

Do I have to be a first-time buyer?

Many programs require it — but not all. Some are open to repeat and move-up buyers. That's exactly why we ask where you're buying: programs vary by area and situation.

My income isn't high. Do I even qualify?

Many programs are designed specifically for moderate-income families. Income limits vary by county and household size — fill out the form and we'll give you a real answer, not a guess.

What's the catch?

Programs have eligibility requirements and funding is limited. Some are deferred loans (not free money) — they're repaid when you sell or refinance. We'll explain exactly how each one works so there are no surprises.

Let's See What You Actually Qualify For.

Programs are area-specific and income-specific — and funding is limited. Fill out the form and our team will reach out personally with your options. No pressure, no obligation, no sales pitch.
