Preferred Agent Mortgage (PAM)

We think you'll like our Preferred Agent Mortgage!

As a part of Farmers — we know your agency business inside and out and can help you qualify for a larger loan, smaller down payment, and competitive rates. 

If you deduct big tax write-offs—or don’t have 2 years of tax returns—your bank will probably penalize you. Not here. We can use your FIG 1099 Income Summary (Farmers Exchange) and/or Commission Statement (Farmers Solutions) to help get you qualified with competitive terms/rates. 

  • Maximum Combined Loan-To-Value up to 100%

  • FICO 620+

  • Fixed and Adjustable Rate options

Combo Loans

Finding money for a sufficiently large down-payment can be a challenge, especially with rising home prices. And if you are unable to come up with 20% for the down payment, you may have to pay for costly private mortgage insurance (PMI) which increases your monthly mortgage payments. But not to worry, we can help.

Introducing our Combo Loan. By combining two loans together (a primary loan and a secondary loan), it gives you the flexibility to have a small down payment, while still keeping your monthly mortgage payments lower by eliminating PMI. 

  • No monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI)

  • Combo loan options:

    • 100/0 (100% Financing, no down payment)

    • 80/15 (95% Financing, 5% down payment)

    • 80/10 (90% Financing, 10% down payment)

  • Eligible on primary properties only
