Jose Zuniga – CMG Home Loans – Yakima
The Commission's mission statement 'opening doors to a better life' is well suited for why I use their programs to help our borrowers. A majority of the people that I help are first-time homebuyers. Many of them are just learning about the loan process and don't have the down payment requirement needed for them to purchase a home and this is where the Commission steps in. The Commission helps these people open the door to their very first home and achieve their dream of homeownership--which can eventually lead to generational wealth that can be passed down to their heirs. I have been helping people for about 9 years. I love watching people gain their independence from renting and overcome with jubilation as they become homeowners. Contact Jose at jzuniga@cmghomeloans.com or 509-305-3259. MLO #1211137
Kerwin Lyon – Guild Mortgage - Seattle
The Commission’s down payment assistance programs are a great tool to maximize financing options for first time home buyers. One of the recurring questions my clients ask is "How much money for a down payment and closing costs do I need to have saved up?" Knowing that there are ways to overcome a large down payment that some loan programs require, I can assist home buyers achieve their goals of home ownership earlier than they would have expected.
I have been in the mortgage industry for over 20 years and have enjoyed giving people the opportunity to check off "Washington Homeowner" from their bucket list.
I am fortunate to have a diverse, down-to-earth team and together, we not only strive for but are committed to providing a smooth home buying experience. Contact Kerwin at teamlyon@guildmortgage.net or 425-652-3333. MLO #275494
