Housing Connect GSO typically requires buyers to work with a Greensboro-approved / participating lender—so confirming list status belongs before you write offers, not after. Use this soft checklist (education-first, not a funds guarantee): 1. Confirm the path — You are exploring City of Greensboro homebuyer assistance that requires a participating lender and HUD-approved education. 2. Check the live list — Ask your loan officer to confirm current HCG / city participating-lender status for your timeline; certifications and lists renew. 3. Education timing — Complete (or schedule) the HUD-approved class the city requires before you treat assistance as part of your budget. 4. Property rules — Primary residence within Greensboro city limits is a common gate—verify before you shop. 5. City + lender together — Confirm income limits, tiers, and current assistance terms with the City and your LO; do not rely on old blog or social figures. Jill Burgess (Ameris Bank / Mortgages By Jill), NMLS #100425, appears on Housing Consultants Group’s public Participating Lender List for City of Greensboro / High Point homebuyer assistance—the certification path buyers commonly use with Housing Connect.
