As a real estate professional, are you doing all you can to help potential homeowners from underserved communities get into their dream homes?  Freddie Mac’s educational and affordable loan programs may be the answer.

Freddie Mac was chartered in 1970 to help keep the economy stable and expand access to housing. They have created accessible education that helps potential homeowners understand credit and how to manage their money in order to buy a home. Over five decades, Freddie Mac has provided more than $11.6 trillion to make homeownership possible for more than 80 million owners and renters.

My guest today is Mia Jones from Freddie Mac.  She will educate us on the many programs Freddie Mac has available, and they’re not just for first-time homebuyers or single-family homes.
