For firefighters and EMS

You run to the emergency. But buying your home should not be a disaster.

Shift work makes buying harder than it needs to be. We work around a 24/48 or a 48/96, and we document shift income properly. Buy through our agents and half the buyer-agent commission comes back to you.

What fire and EMS crews get with our team

A process that fits a rotation, and a credit at closing.

  • Half the buyer-agent commission back when you buy through our agents
  • 24/48 and 48/96 shift income documented properly
  • We schedule around your rotation, including the closing
  • A 1.5% listing fee when you sell
  • Optional: finance with us too, though the credit does not depend on it

Closings get scheduled around the rotation wherever the other side of the transaction allows it.

Where the credit comes from

Common questions

Does shift income qualify for a mortgage?
Yes. Base pay, overtime and shift differentials all count when they are documented correctly. Two years of consistent history is typically required.
Can you work around my 24/48 or 48/96 rotation?
Yes. The process runs remotely and we communicate on your schedule. Closings get scheduled around your rotation wherever possible.
Do I have to buy near my station?
No. Buy anywhere in the Richmond metro. Where you are employed is what qualifies you.
Do I have to use 804Mortgage for my mortgage?
No. The credit comes from using our in-house agents. You can bring your own lender.
Is the credit real?
Yes. It appears on your closing disclosure, applied to your closing costs. The amount varies by transaction, and the cap moves with your loan type and down payment.
