We know homeownership builds equity and is the primary driver for building wealth. Each year of successful homeownership adds nearly $10,000 in household wealth. It also creates stability for families and stronger connections within our communities.

“I was honored to co-lead the Governor’s Task Force on Housing in 2018, where it was clear that homeownership was a cornerstone of strong communities,” said Jeanne Crain, President and CEO of Bremer Bank. “We know that housing is fundamental to people’s lives and to our economy. I am proud of these bankers and this recognition, as they exemplify our purpose to cultivate thriving communities.”

Minnesota Housing supports and strengthens homeownership by partnering with local loan officers like these to provide affordable homebuyer loans. First-time and repeat homebuyers can access programs with fixed interest rates and downpayment loans up to $15,000. More information and eligibility requirements are available at www.mnhousing.gov. In addition to homebuyer loans, Minnesota Housing also offers home improvement loans and finances single family and multifamily housing across the state.

The Minnesota Housing Top Producing Loan Officer Program awards outstanding loan officers biannually at three levels: Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Loan officers meeting the threshold for each level based on regional production are recognized as top producers.
