I am shocked how so few people know about this program. The FANNIE MAE Home Path Program is the least expensive mortgage program for Seattle area first time homebuyers that is available and since FANNIE MAE owns the home, they do not require an appraisal, another HUGE benefit. Exclusive Seattle Fannie Mae Mortgage Lender Dan Keller is able to underwrite and fund FANNIE MAE mortgage loans in-house creating a smooth, quick loan process. I believe this program will help stabilize communities impacted by recent foreclosures by creating another option for homebuyers to achieve homeownership. The HomePath® Mortgage program is now available to my agents and buyers, and can provide up to 97% financing for qualified borrowers wanting to purchase an eligible Fannie Mae-owned property. Even investors and multiple home owners can use this program (investors only need to put down 10%, instead of 20%, plus there is no PMI...)!
ATTENTION REALTORS: From September 23, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Fannie Mae Homepath Program is offering an additional $1,500 commission on top of your stated commission. Click Here to READ THE MEMO From Fannie Mae Homepath
