🏡 SONYMA DPAL PLUS FUNDING IS STILL AVAILABLE🎉✨!

Think buying a home is out of reach because of the down payment and closing costs? This is a program you need to know about. 👇🏽

Eligible New York homebuyers may qualify for UP TO $30,000 IN ASSISTANCE through SONYMA’s DPAL Plus Program, and funding is still available on a first-come, first-served basis while funds remain.

WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW:

💰 Up to $30,000 in assistance
🔑 Help with down payment & closing costs
0️⃣ 0% interest on the assistance
📆 No monthly payments on the assistance
🏡 Assistance is gradually forgiven over 10 years while you live in the home as your primary residence
👥 Available to eligible first-time homebuyers and veterans
💵 Income and purchase price limits apply

And here’s something a lot of people don’t realize:

Being a “first-time homebuyer” does NOT necessarily mean you’ve never owned a home before.

Generally, if you haven’t owned a principal residence within the last 3 years, you may still qualify as a first-time buyer.

SO, COULD THIS HELP YOU BUY A HOME? 🏡

STEP 1️⃣ | FIND OUT WHAT YOU QUALIFY FOR
📲 Contact Brandon Ford at 1st Priority Mortgage. He can review your situation, explain the program and help determine what financing options may be available to you.

STEP 2️⃣ | LET’S FIND YOUR HOME 🔑
Once you know your buying power, let’s put it to work!
I’ll help you find the right home, write a competitive offer, negotiate on your behalf and guide you through the process all the way to closing.

❤️ KNOW SOMEONE WHO COULD USE THIS? SHARE THIS WITH THEM!

Someone you know may want to buy a home but simply doesn’t know that assistance like this exists. Brandon and I would love the opportunity to help them get started.

Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Program, income, property and financing requirements apply. Eligibility and approval are determined through a participating lender and SONYMA.

Thank you to everyone who came out today at 1534 Columbia Turnpike! 🏡❤️

I really enjoyed meeting everyone, showing you around the home, hearing what you’re looking for, and getting the chance to talk real estate with you!

I know weekends are valuable, so I truly appreciate everyone who took time out of their Sunday to stop by. Whether you came because you’re actively looking for your next home, were curious about the property, or just wanted to take a look, thank you for coming! ✨

And of course, the conversation doesn’t have to end at the Open House.

If you’re looking to buy, whether you’re ready now or just starting to figure out what your next move looks like, I’d love to help you through the process and find the right place to call home.

And if you’re thinking about selling, let’s talk! I’d be happy to sit down with you, talk about your home and your goals, and put together a plan for getting it sold.

I’m here for all of your real estate needs, residential and commercial, throughout the Capital Region and beyond. 🏡🔑
