At Zown, it's not just about the savings, it's about making the entire homebuying process effortless and enjoyable for you. From answering real estate questions to guiding you through financial and legal matters, we're here to ensure you can sit back and enjoy the journey to homeownership without the stress.

“Amazing group of people and provided really good guidance throughout the process. They were always available to take our calls and went out of their way to support us not just with our real estate related questions, but also with financial and legal matters. Initially we reached out to them because of their down payment assistance program but that is just the tip of the iceberg; their knowledge, customer service, professionalism, and honesty towards their clients really stood out. Highly recommend Zown to others, and I wish them the very best on their journey to transform the real estate landscape.”

Zown has helped me to keep my grandmother's home in the family. Without the down-payment assistance, and the knowledge and kindness of all the people along the way, none of this would have been possible. Exceptional service, prompt responses, I will definitely be telling everyone I know about my experience.

Testimonial by Allison
Allison Lacey First-time homeowner

They were highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure I always felt like a priority. They also went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of – from arranging a broker, inspections , lawyer to researching potential issues with a property.Throughout our journey, Ethan and his team demonstrated immense patience and understanding of my situation. I highly recommend the services of Zown! They also provide assistance for people needed for down payment!

Testimonial by Rio
Rio De Leon First-time homeowner

There really was no catch, they provided me with the down payment assistance and saved me 2-3 years of having to save for the down payment. It has been very informative and everyone was always available to answer all my questions within a matter of minutes.

Got questions?
We've got answers.

When you buy a property, we charge a 2.5% commission from the seller while representing you as the buyer. We retain a portion of this and give you back majority of it upfront to either boost your buying power or to help bridge the gap between the down payment and your savings.

Submit your application through our online portal to discover your approval amount within seconds. Generally, eligibility requires a personal or combined household income of at least $90,000 and savings exceeding $15,000.

Yes, Zown's Down Payment Boost can be factored into your pre-qualification process. By including this boost in your financial profile, you may increase your purchasing power and improve your ability to qualify for a mortgage. This allows you to explore more options in your home-buying journey with confidence.

No, for our qualification process, we only need your household income and savings.

Yes, Zown enhances your pre-approval by adding to your savings, boosting your purchasing power and making it easier to afford a higher-value home.

We've cut the fat that makes other real estate and mortgage brokerages costly, like manual account management and large sales teams, so we can turn our commissions into your down payment. Plus, we pay our realtors on a performance-based model, ensuring you receive dedicated, top-quality service every step of the way.

During a Zown consultation, we take the time to understand your unique home goals and discuss how we can help you achieve them. We'll review down payment boost options tailored to your needs, guide you through starting your pre-approval, and set you confidently on the path to homeownership. It's all about making your journey as smooth and rewarding as possible.
