HomeFundIt Celebrates Success in Hampstead, North Carolina

News posted On May 02, 2018

Hampstead, NC –HomeFundIt^TM,  the first and only approved down payment crowdfunding platform, announces another successful campaign completion in Hampstead, North Carolina.  Ryan and Aimee, a young couple who recently relocated from Wisconsin to Hampstead, North Carolina, were able to increase their down payment through crowdfunding and become homeowners for the first time. 

HomeFundIt, designed by leading mortgage lender CMG Financial, is an online platform that streamlines the down payment crowdfunding process, ensures all funds collected are compliant and ready to be used at the time of home purchase, and connects home buyers to resources including real estate professionals and housing counselors.  Unlike other crowdfunding platforms, HomeFundIt does not charge any commission or transaction fees.  

Like any mortgage application, the HomeFundIt process starts with prequalification.  Home buyers set up their HomeFundIt account in minutes online or through the mobile app.  Users get prequalified through the platform with no trips to the bank or lender’s office.  Once the home buyer is determined creditworthy, they are connected with a mortgage loan officer in their local area and a dedicated fundraising coach.  The loan officer helps the home buyer set a budget and understand the financing process.  The fundraising coach assists with building the campaign page and fundraising strategy.  HomeFundIt integrates with Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn for easy social sharing and also has the option to import email contacts from Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook to reach contributors in their inbox.  

In the past, down payment gifts have been restricted to close family, employers, non-profits, or church groups.  HomeFundIt enables anyone to give and ensures all funds collected are properly documented and ready to be used at the time of purchase.   Since its launch in October 2017, the program has helped almost 250 families nationwide crowdfund over $750,000 toward down payments.
