First Time Buyer Program
Why First Time Buyer Programs?
If you’re a first-time home buyer, you have many critical decisions to make. In addition to finding the ideal property that meets your lifestyle needs and budget requirements, you also must endure the arduous process of securing financing.
The good news is that there are several first-time home buyer programs available that can make it easier to get an affordable loan. These programs offer a host of benefits that aren’t necessarily available to current homeowners, such as lower or no down payment requirements, more flexible financing arrangements and assistance with closing costs, to name a few.

The Process of Obtaining Mortgage Loans for First-Time Home Buyers
Whether you’re brand-new to the home purchasing process or are re-entering the market, the steps involved include:
Get Your Financial House in Order: The rosier your financial picture, the easier it will be to get a first-time home buyer mortgage loan. Pay down your debt — especially those high-interest credit cards — check your credit report for errors and put as much money away as possible for a down payment.
Get Pre-Qualified: Pre-qualification is a non-binding process where prospective home buyers work with lenders, who determine the likelihood of approval and the mortgage loan amount available. Note: Getting pre-qualified is not a firm loan approval.
Find the Ideal Home: Once you know how much house you can afford, enlist the services of a reputable real estate agent to help you find your dream home and make an offer.
Complete the Application: When you’ve located the right home, and the seller accepts your offer, you’ll need to choose a lender and complete the loan application process. Get ready to provide detailed information about your employment history, income, assets and debts.
Close the Deal: Upon final approval of your loan application, you will receive a date for the settlement, which is where you finalize the purchase.
