Does Homebuyer operate in all 50 states?
Homebuyer is powered by a federal bank, which means we’re not a mortgage broker and we can lend in all 50 states. For now, however, we do not lend in AK and NY.
Can Homebuyer help me buy a home out of state?
Yes! Homebuyer can lend across the entire United States – and we’re available in every time zone, too. Learn more about buying a home out of state.
I’m a first-time home buyer, how do I get started?
First-time home buyers should get pre-approved before anything else. It takes less than 3 minutes.
After your pre-approval is complete, we’ll assign an experienced loan guide to help with your budget, and pair you with a real estate expert to guide you through the next steps.
I don’t have enough money for a down payment, can Homebuyer help?
Yes, regardless of your down payment size, Homebuyer can help.
We can help you find local grant programs that pay for all or a portion of your down payment, or we can help decide whether 100% financing is an option.
Homebuyer also offers down payment assistance through our Down Payment Assistance program.
I have a low credit score, can I still buy a home?
Of course. Your credit score is only one part of your mortgage approval. Homebuyer will help you look at all of your options and choose which one is best.

What kinds of loans does Homebuyer offer?
Homebuyer is backed by a federal bank so we offer every government-backed mortgage loan available. This includes conventional loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, FHA loans, VA loans for veterans and active members of the military, 100% USDA for home buyers in less-populated parts of the country, and more.
Don’t guess which loan is best for you and your home. Get pre-approved and let Homebuyer help you find out.
