"Working with Jim truly made the entire experience smooth and stress-free for us! From the very beginning, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly patient. We had a lot of questions throughout the loan process, and Jim was always available to answer every single one—no matter how big or small. He communicated clearly and consistently, keeping us updated at every stage so we never felt out of the loop. His guidance gave us confidence and peace of mind, and we really felt like he had our best interests at heart. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with!"

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.
