According to the latest C.A.R. consumer survey, over half of all renters in California think you need at least 20 percent down to purchase a home. And we're one week out from helping you show your clients why this isn't true!

The reality is there are programs available that enable a purchase with a much lower down payment. Our STEPS program provides you with the necessary info on credit scores, financial planning, leveraging down payment resources and options for low- to moderate-income earners to educate your buyers. And we're bringing it to you virtually next week on April 7, for free!
