First-Time Homebuyers

Owning a home for the first time is a big step!

Buying Your First Home Is Exciting!

Here are the basics.

  • Get pre-approved before you shop for your new home to strengthen your buying power.
  • Our Loan Officers ensure a smooth home-buying experience.
  • We have mortgage programs allow you to buy a home with a minimal down payment. Some only require as little as 3% down! Often, your down payment can be a gift from a relative or organization.
