City of Rockford – First Time Homebuyer Program
The city of Rockford has a new first time homebuyer program that provides financial assistance for low and moderate income households to become homeowners.
The money is available to all – however, there are qualifying guidelines. The money is used to provide down payment assistance and reduce the mortgage principle. The home must lie within the city limits.
The financial assistance will be provided at a minimum amount of $3,000.00 and a maximum amount of $18,000.00. Assistance is provided in the form of a “no interest” deferred payment loan that is due and payable 30 years from the initial purchase date or when the home is sold, transferred or no longer the primary residence. As funds are available applicants to the program will be selected on a first come, first served basis. You must qualify with the lender first before applying for the funds from the city.
To begin the process – prospective homebuyers must select a lender approved by the City of Rockford. Ron Monroe of PHH Home Loans is located right here in our office and is approved by the city for participation in the program. Ron can also be reached at 651-398-7673.
Participants in the program must attend a first time homebuyer class/workshop that is offered by Wright County Community Action, we can help with this.
Once the approval process is completed and guidelines for the program met – we can help you look for a home.
Please contact Dorothy Marschel at Dorothy@DerrickMonroe.com for all of the details and to receive a free list of properties that match your needs. If you would like you may also feel free to stop by our office located at 8010 Hwy 55 anytime.

2009 was the year of big bail out’s and stimulus packages for large companies, I want to make 2010 about our area, the “normal” homeowner who just wants to move but is struggling due to lower home prices.
List your property with us between Jan 1st, 2010 and February 14th, 2010 and you will receive a full 1% discount off our services and a discounted “Pre Home Inspection” so we can show buyers your home has already been inspected and has a clean bill of health. Great tool for marketing your property to the public.
If you’re considering that move give me a call at 763-477-4821 and take advantage of this stimulus package that could save you thousands and still get our full service with a proven 10 year track record of selling properties. Make sure to mention this ad to receive the discount. You may also contact me at Derrick@DerrickMonroe.com anytime, Happy New Year and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
