How do I buy my first home?
- Do you qualify for a First Home Loan? If you don’t know, ask us! Our Community
Bankers are your First Time Home Buyer experts. - A Community Banker will provide you with a ‘Prequalification Letter’ to show
realtors, home sellers and manufactured home dealers. This shows you are serious
about buying a home and have already been program qualified through a bank. - We can steer you towards Education Opportunities with First Time Home Buyer
classes through local community action agencies, and on-line programs. These
provide you with great knowledge about the process, and can allow you to be
eligible for closing cost assistance. - If it has happened to you, we have seen it. So whether you have no credit or credit
which needs rebuilding, we can put you on the right path towards qualification.
