Realtor FAQ · Minnesota
- How does a Readiness Passport help my Minnesota 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 Minnesota'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 Minnesota-licensed partner LO — your commission and referral relationship are protected in the workflow.
- What Minnesota down payment assistance is my buyer eligible for?
- ReadinessIQ checks every buyer against Minnesota Housing Finance Agency programs including Start Up, Step Up, First-Generation Homebuyer Loan Program. Instead of you tracking AMI caps, you get a match list on the buyer's dashboard the minute they finish the scorecard.
