June 2024 ยป thefivestar.com 9 June 2024 M T E C H only benefits homebuyers, but it also offers lenders a much-needed opportunity to grow loan volume in a tight market. "DPA programs are crucial for promoting homeownership accessibility, particularly for first-time homebuyers, LMI homebuyers and homebuyers of color. Unfortunately, most loan officers don't pursue DPA on behalf of their clients because they don't know about existing programs or are hesitant to try something unfamiliar," said Rob Chrane, Founder and CEO of Down Payment Resource. "Embedding Down Payment Resource's lender solutions in Encompass helps LOs overcome those apprehensions. Folding DPA functionality in the core origination gives LOs confidence that they can effec- tively originate DPA and make borrowers happy. We're giving lending staff every- thing they need to know the moment a loan needs to be created." "We hope that by making mortgage staff 'instant experts' on DPA, more home- buyers can benefit from DPA," Chrane said.
