Redefining DPA: Serving Today’s Buyer, Not Yesterday’s Narrative
Thursday, March 5, 2026
11 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. MT / 1 p.m. CT / 2 p.m. ET
Down payment assistance (DPA) has evolved, but the way many lenders talk about it hasn’t.
Too often, DPA is still positioned as a last-resort option for low-income, first-time buyers. That outdated narrative causes lenders and agents to overlook qualified borrowers, leave deals on the table, and miss opportunities to better serve today’s cash-conscious homebuyers.
In this moderated session, hear a top lender and a top broker discuss why they are actively rebranding DPA – changing how it is introduced, discussed and deployed. Together, they’ll share how shifting the conversation from “who qualifies” to “who could benefit” supports a wider range of buyers.
Attendees will learn:
If you’re ready to move beyond yesterday’s assumptions and meet today’s buyers where they are, this event will show you how to “do DPA right.”
