NorthstarMLS service provider Workforce Resource wins industry Innovator Award!

NorthstarMLS was the first MLS to launch Down Payment Resource, a Web tool from Workforce Resource that connects eligible homebuyers and eligible properties with government-funded programs for down payment assistance, rehab loans and other loan programs. The product helps bridge the gap for prospective homebuyers and move real estate transactions forward in a difficult lending environment. 

Home buyers in Minnesota and western Wisconsin can find out what programs they may be eligible for by working with a NorthstarMLS member Realtor.

Inman News, leading source of independent real estate news, information, advice, research, opinion and commentary, has named Down Payment Resource (DPR) Most Innovative New Technology in its 2011 Innovator Awards.  The awards, created in 1997, honor real estate companies, technologies, services and individuals who have pushed the real estate industry forward by improving the real estate transaction process for both consumers and real estate professionals.
