Ebonie Beaco places first-time homebuyers at the center of her work, specializing in helping them access statewide and local down payment assistance programs–many of which remain overlooked or misunderstood. Her approach has long been rooted in education and advocacy. Rather than simply providing loan options, she ensures her clients understand why they qualify, how assistance programs function, and what steps they need to complete from the initial consultation to the closing table.

“First-time homebuyers deserve someone who will walk with them, not just process paperwork,” Beaco said. “My role is to educate, guide, and advocate. I take pride in making sure my clients understand how these programs work, how to qualify, and how to confidently move through each step of the homebuying process.”

A core part of Ebonie’s support includes guiding buyers through the full Down Payment Assistance process–from determining eligibility, reviewing income and credit requirements, while preparing clients for the pre-approval process, to structuring loans that maximize available assistance and ensuring all documentation is compliant with program guidelines. She works closely with buyers, underwriters, and real estate partners to secure grants, forgivable loans, and municipal incentives, ensuring the assistance is successfully applied to the purchase.

Her client base includes renters transitioning into homeownership, entrepreneurs seeking financial stability, working professionals establishing roots, and families committed to building generational wealth. Regardless of background or financial starting point, Ebonie’s educational-centered approach ensures every buyer has the knowledge and confidence needed to make informed decisions. Illinois assistance programs often include grants for down payment and closing costs, 3%-5% purchase-price support, first-generation buyer initiatives, and additional incentives offered through counties and municipalities.

Ebonie Beaco encourages potential buyers to explore these opportunities early, noting that many Illinois residents qualify without realizing it. To help buyers understand their options, she offers one-on-one educational consultations and pre-approval sessions, giving clients a clear breakdown of the programs they qualify for and a personalized roadmap toward securing DPA.
