Works Alongside Down Payment Assistance

Arizona has strong down payment assistance programs, like HOME Plus statewide and Home in Five in Maricopa County. Those programs help with your down payment. Our credits help with your closing costs. Used together, they can greatly reduce the cash you need to buy your first home.

Assistance programs are run by their own agencies and have their own income limits and rules. Our credits are separate from and not part of any government program.

About Arizona Home First

Arizona's housing market has become hard for first time buyers. Many people with good credit and steady income are still held back by the cash needed at closing. Arizona Home First was created to change that by connecting buyers with licensed professionals who put part of their own compensation back into the buyer's pocket.

Our network includes licensed Arizona real estate agents and a licensed mortgage lender. Every credit is disclosed in writing and reflected on your closing statement.
