"We are so incredibly grateful we found Ryan! My wife and I were pretty overwhelmed when we first started looking at mortgages. When we were shopping around, we always felt like we were constantly being pushed into boxes or swayed into lending options that just didn't fit us. Meeting Ryan was a total breath of fresh air. From our very first conversation, he didn't treat us like just another file—he took the time to actually listen and understand exactly where we were at in our lives. Because of his incredible knowledge, he helped us get the exact mortgage we needed for our dream home. He educated us, answered every single silly question we had, and turned our anxiety into pure excitement. Ryan is truly incredible at what he does."

"A massive thank you to Ryan, Jeff and team! Right from the start, Ryan was just incredible to work with. His knowledge and expertise with our specialized lending program helped us secure the exact mortgage we were hoping for. When we were shopping around, we often felt swayed or shoehorned into other directions by other lenders, but Ryan made us feel completely comfortable from day one. He truly took the time to understand our situation and where we were at in our home-buying journey. Honestly, without Ryan's patience, guidance, and education, we’d probably still be doubting whether we were truly ready or even able to get approved for our dream house. He gave us the confidence we really needed to take this step. Once we were under contract, Jeff stepped in and was an absolute rockstar. He was always super communicative and incredibly prompt, which kept us feeling so reassured. Even though getting a mortgage is naturally nerve-wracking, Jeff always kept us feeling good about where things stood. He talked us through every single scenario so we felt like we were in the driver's seat the entire time, and he made sure we had zero doubt that we would hit our closing date. Ryan and Jeff worked in perfect tandem. They took what we expected to be an arduous, stressful process and basically put it on autopilot for us. We felt completely taken care of and entirely carefree. Thank you both so much for helping us get into our dream home!"

PATHWAY TO HOMEOWNERSHIP

Are You Ready?


At New American Funding, we believe that every person deserves a clear path to achieving their dream of homeownership. So, we created the Pathway to Homeownership initiative to alleviate some of your financial worries.


What is the Pathway to Homeownership Initiative?


The Pathway to Homeownership offers qualified borrowers in select areas up to $6,000 in assistance. These funds are not a loan that needs to be repaid and are available to first-time homebuyers in designated areas.

This program can also potentially be combined with other down payment assistance programs to offer you even more support as you build the life of your dreams.
