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.
