MINIMUM DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO ENTER A DRAWING AND BE RANKED

Applicants who enter by the entry deadline without the required documentation, WILL NOT be ranked and fall behind ranked applicants based on entry date and time.
This drawing has required documents that must be submitted by the drawing entry deadline:
1. A Housekeys Application specific to the project and drawing must be completed and signed.
2. A current/valid loan Pre-Qualification: To participate in the drawing and complete the purchase, choose a loan officer from the APPROVED HouseKeys list of lenders and loan officers. Obtaining a pre-qualification letter requires time; we highly recommend you start this immediately. The Lender list, application forms, and lists can be found here: Packaging a Buyer File — HouseKeys
3. Exhibit E – Preference Form with supporting documentation. Locate the form here: Reference Documents & Standard Forms — HouseKeys
PLEASE NOTE: If a selected preference cannot be verified because the completed Exhibit E or the specific supporting documents required by the city are not provided, you will lose the preference and be ranked without it.
