Members become Very Important Buyers (VIB) and are eligible to receive the lender-paid closing credit when their transaction is completed with both PenFed mortgage and the qualified PenFed real estate network agent to (1) purchase their new home, offer valid for completed purchase applications received on or after April 3, 2025, or (2) to purchase a home listed by a Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices PenFed Realty agent, offer valid for completed purchase applications received on or after October 6, 2025; subject to qualification and approval. Member must use the qualified PenFed real estate network agent assigned to member to close their real estate transaction.

Lender-paid closing cost credits include: loan origination fee, appraisal fee, tax service fee, flood certification fee, credit report fee, soft credit report fee, and escrow waiver pricing adjustment, if applicable. Members can obtain lender and real estate services separately, but the lender-paid closing credit will not apply.

This is not a commitment to lend.
