Build your business while helping Texans

As a Texas Real Estate Agent, you are often the first professional a homebuyer turns to when navigating the path to homeownership. Many buyers don’t realize they may qualify for assistance, and you can be the one to help them unlock these opportunities.

The TDHCA Homebuyer Programs offer down payment assistance (DPA), closing cost assistance, and mortgage credit options that help buyers qualify more easily, compete more effectively, and afford a home sooner.

By understanding these programs, you’re positioned to:

• Serve more clients, including first-time and underserved buyers
• Strengthen your value as a trusted expert in affordable financing options
• Help clients overcome the #1 barrier to homeownership: down payment and closing costs
• Keep transactions moving smoothly with accurate program insights
• Stand out in a competitive market

When real estate agents understand TDHCA programs, more Texans become homeowners — and you become the expert who helped make it happen.
