Realtor FAQ · Vermont

How does a Readiness Passport help my Vermont 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 Vermont'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 Vermont-licensed partner LO — your commission and referral relationship are protected in the workflow.
What Vermont down payment assistance is my buyer eligible for?
ReadinessIQ checks every buyer against Vermont Housing Finance Agency programs including ASSIST, MOVE Mortgage, Advantage. Instead of you tracking AMI caps, you get a match list on the buyer's dashboard the minute they finish the scorecard.
