Home Mortgage Purchase Power Program

Get the POWER you need to make a strong offer!

Cash deals are becoming more common in today’s competitive home-buying market, making it essential for buyers to submit strong offers that minimize contingencies and assure sellers of on-time closings.

If you don’t quite have the buying power to make a cash offer on your dream home, our Purchase Power Program can provide the necessary financial support to give you a competitive edge!











Here’s how it works …


Purchase Power Delivers Confidence

  • Underwriter Pre-Approval: All qualified buyers* receive a fully underwritten pre-approval by an underwriter. This allows you to speed up the process by removing the financing contingency, making a strong offer that gets noticed.
  • Cash Guarantee Availability: Eligible buyers can receive bridge financing (details below) approval for their current residence. This also helps to make a stronger offer by eliminating the risk of the sale falling through if the current home doesn’t sell quickly.


Other Benefits

  • Apply for financing within 30 days after notification of your Purchase Power approval and receive $500 credit towards closing costs.
  • Open a Five Star Checking account, set up an automatic monthly mortgage payment from this account, and receive an additional $500 credit towards closing costs.
  • PLUS, receive $500 service guarantee credit at settlement if your loan does not close by your rate lock expiration date.*


Purchase Power Program Criteria

  • Conventional, 1-unit financing only
  • 20% down payment required
