🏡 HomeSTL Down Payment Assistance Is Back!

If you're looking to purchase a home in St. Louis City, this program could help make homeownership more affordable.

The HomeSTL program is once again offering down payment and closing cost assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers purchasing within St. Louis City limits.

Eligible buyers may qualify for:

✅ Up to $40,000 in assistance
✅ An additional $10,000 available in select areas
✅ 0% interest assistance funds
✅ No monthly payments on the assistance loan
✅ Assistance that may be forgiven over time based on program guidelines

For many buyers, saving enough for a down payment and closing costs is the biggest hurdle to homeownership. Programs like HomeSTL can help bridge that gap and make buying a home possible sooner.

Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you're considering purchasing a home in St. Louis City and would like to learn more about the program or see if you may qualify, send me a message or give me a call. I'd be happy to help you explore your options.

A lot of buyers think getting pre-approved is just another step in the process.

In reality, it can make a huge difference when you find a house you love.

I've seen buyers lose out because they weren't fully prepared, and I've seen buyers win in multiple-offer situations because they had everything lined up and ready to go.

Getting pre-approved early gives you a clear picture of your budget and helps avoid surprises later on.

Even if you're not planning to buy tomorrow, having a conversation now can help you understand what your options look like and what steps to take next.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Alex Burden by Janet S - Alewx was there for me every step of he way while purchasing my new home.
Alex explained every step that we were taking to secure the loan. He answered questions, and returned phone calls or texts in a timely manner. He was very knowledgable about the process and explained things in 'lay' terms. When I would get 'flusrtered' with this whole process, Alex displayed empathy and understanding to my feelings. I would definitely recommend him to everyone looking for financial assistance. Thank you Alex!

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the men and women who gave everything for our country.

Homeownership is one of the many freedoms made possible through their sacrifice, and I’m always grateful for the opportunity to help veterans and military families navigate the homebuying process.

VA loans are one of the best benefits available to eligible buyers, and a lot of people still do not realize how powerful they can be.

To all who have served and to the families who continue to sacrifice alongside them — thank you.

One of the biggest mistakes I see buyers make is waiting too long to start the conversation.

You do not need to have everything perfectly figured out before you start house shopping.

A lot of people are surprised to learn:

- they qualify sooner than they thought
- they need less cash than expected
- there are more options available than they realized

Even if you are still 3-6 months out, getting a game plan early can make the process way less stressful when the right house pops up.

If you have questions about buying in Missouri, feel free to send me a message anytime.

April was a busy month!

Grateful for the clients and referral partners who trusted me to help get these deals to the closing table. On to the next one!
