Our Process
First Home Partners is revolutionizing the home buying experience.
We simplify the home buying process by selecting the appropriate real estate agent and mortgage banker who can deliver a successful, seamless purchase experience for employees of participating employer groups.
Integrated Approach
Our process with an employee who wants to use our Homeownership Assistance Benefit;
Getting Acquainted: Our first step is to get to know each other and answer your questions. We'll discuss your desired expectations and goals to determine if we best align with your home buying or selling and buying again needs.
Representation Agreement: If you're comfortable with us, we'll provide you with a seller and/or buyer agreement to sign. These agreements allows us to represent you in your home buying or selling and buying again needs and to select the appropriate local agent for representation.
Collaboration with Northwest Bank: While we handle your REALTOR® representation and property search, Northwest Bank focuses on your financial readiness. They'll assist you with credit score education, handle the pre-approval loan process and help you determine an appropriate price range to target for your future home.
Home Search and Purchase: With your preferences in mind, we'll work diligently to find you a home that meets your criteria. From negotiating the purchase price to guiding you through the closing process, we'll be by your side every step of the way.
Homeownership Assistance Benefit: After purchasing your home, our benefit supports you in three key ways;
