"Chris is super! He is truly invested in our success My only comment would be that one login and paperwork may not seem like much, but this process we had four separate ones to use and I feel like that is stuff the realtor has always collected and distributed in the past it took a lot of time (title, appraisal, you guys, realtor). Then, we had multiple companies calling to help us move. and they weren't good , lol. One company offered us a wuote for movers-we are going like five miles and they quoted us a company from 160 miles away where we were foing to have to pay for their mileage and time here and back lol . We have national chains right here in our town So that was annoying But, I don't blame Chris or his team for any of that i just think it's a thing. I would 100% (and probably will) use Chris again!!!"

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.
