Realtor FAQ · District of Columbia
- How does a Readiness Passport help my District of Columbia buyer win multiple-offer situations?
- A Readiness Passport is a public, tamper-proof URL a listing agent can verify in 3 seconds. It shows your buyer is verified ready to close up to a specific dollar amount, backed by an underwriter's-level check on credit, income, and funds. In District of Columbia's tight markets it functions as a stronger version of a pre-approval letter — no PDF, no editing, no doubt.
- Do I need my buyer to already have a loan officer to use ReadinessIQ?
- No. Buyers can complete the scorecard on their own. If they don't have an LO, RED hands them off to a District of Columbia-licensed partner LO — your commission and referral relationship are protected in the workflow.
- What District of Columbia down payment assistance is my buyer eligible for?
- ReadinessIQ checks every buyer against DC Housing Finance Agency programs including DC Open Doors, Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP), Employer-Assisted Housing Program (EAHP). Instead of you tracking AMI caps, you get a match list on the buyer's dashboard the minute they finish the scorecard.
- Where in District of Columbia does ReadinessIQ have the most active buyers?
- Highest buyer density right now: Washington, DC. If you list or show in any of those metros, you'll see the most match volume there — but the platform covers every District of Columbia zip.
- How much does ReadinessIQ cost realtors in District of Columbia?
- Realtor plans start free — up to 5 active buyers with a co-branded Readiness Passport. Producer plan is $49/mo for unlimited buyers, custom domain passport links, and CRM handoff. Team & brokerage plans priced per seat.
