Many homebuyers confide in real estate agents and loan officers to find them the best price, real estate agent Bill Gassett says some real estate agents may not understand the value of knowing about all of the low down payment options available to their clients. In fact, Gassett said in a recent post for mortgage industry blog, MGIC Connects , that out of the most recent NAR Profile of Buyers and Sellers states, 40% of repeat buyers, and 66% of first-time home buyers, are putting less than 10% down.
