Home Advantage is a mortgage loan program offered by the Washington State Housing Finance Commission through participating lenders across the state. It offers a range of downpayment assistance options as well as competitive interest rates. Your lender will qualify you on a typical 30-year mortgage loan using our interest rate. To get started, contact one of our partner lenders or take a FREE homebuyer education class. You can learn more about Home Advantage here.

No. Your lender training is broken up into two parts – you can take the second part no later than 12 months of taking the first training. They can be done on different dates.

Just sign up for our Initial Training for Homeownership Professionals on our Training page. After completing the two half-days of training, you’ll be approved to teach Commission-sponsored homebuyer education classes.

Keep in mind, you will need a teaching partner. All our classes are taught in tandem by both a lender and a real-estate professional. We can help you find a co-instructor, if you need one!
