Real life success

Rigo Jurado, Community Mortgage Banker, recently worked with a family who was moving from one state to another. The family's realtor referred them to UMB after working on previous loans with the bank. Like most mortgage applications, a few roadblocks came up during the underwriting process. Rigo was able to work with the family and create a strategy for them to overcome the hurdles and the family was preapproved for their mortgage.

After working through the process, the family was able to get approved for a mortgage as well as receive a 3% grant from the down payment assistance program for the sales price of their home, which covered their down payment for the new house. The family also received an additional 2% grant to cover their closing costs. As part of the program, the family didn't have to pay an origination fee or PMI, which let their funds go even further. The family is now settling in to their first home in their new city!

UMB is honored to support families on their journey to homeownership. The first time home buyer program is open to any qualifying buyer within UMB's assessment areas.
