EMPLOYER-SPONSORED BENEFIT

Unlock Your Path
To Homeownership

Your employer provides roughly 2% of the purchase price toward your closing costs - helping you buy sooner with less cash out of pocket.

Two Credits, One Goal

A transparent breakdown of how your employer-sponsored home buying benefit works to lower your closing costs.

1% Realtor Credit

Provided by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Winans. This credit is calculated directly on the purchase price of your home and applied toward your closing costs.

1% Lender Credit

Provided by UMortgage. This credit is calculated strictly on the final loan amount (not the purchase price) and is applied toward your closing costs.

Zero Cost To You

There are no hidden fees or membership dues. This benefit is entirely free for you to use and offered on behalf of your employer.

WEALTH BUILDING

Why Owning Beats Renting

Every month, you write a check for housing. When you rent, that money pays down your landlord's mortgage. When you own, that same monthly payment acts like a forced savings account, building your personal equity while protecting you from rising rent prices.

Such a valuable benefit. My company offering this helped me transition from renting to owning, building real equity instead of paying someone else's mortgage.

This is not a commitment to lend. All loans subject to credit approval, income verification, and property appraisal. Credits are subject to program guidelines and loan program limits. Credits cannot exceed actual closing costs.

The realtor credit is provided by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Winans, a separate company from UMortgage, and is subject to state law and brokerage policy. The lender credit is calculated as 1% of the final loan amount and the realtor credit as 1% of the purchase price. Actual credit amounts will vary based on the loan amount and purchase price at closing.

Participation in the program does not require the use of any particular real estate brokerage, title company, or other settlement service provider. Employees are free to shop for these services.

Calculator results are estimates for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute an offer, a rate quote, or a prediction of future home values. Employees should consult a tax professional regarding any tax questions.
