PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFSI) (Pennymac) today announced “Welcome Home,” the second season of its “Bring It Home” video series, giving homebuyers and homeowners tools and information for every stage of the process. As the Official Mortgage Provider of Team USA, Pennymac paired its loan experts with Team USA athletes who are Pennymac homeowners, answering on camera the questions buyers ask most.

“Our ‘Welcome Home’ expert led, athlete hosted video series was created to simplify and personalize expert mortgage guidance,” said Scott Bridges, Chief Consumer Direct Production Officer at Pennymac. “Team USA athletes understand the relentless pursuit of a goal and the importance of coming home to a place of their own.”

The first five episodes — “How Much Mortgage Can I Afford?”, “What’s Needed to Buy a Home,” “All About Refinancing,” “First-Time Homebuyer” and “All About Home Equity” — cover the circumstances everyday homeowners navigate, from a first purchase to making the most of a home they already own. They feature Pennymac homeowners: three-time U.S. Olympic medalist freeskier Alex Ferreira, five-time U.S. Paralympic medalist snowboarder Brenna Huckaby, and U.S. Olympic gold medalist speedskater Erin Jackson.

“Of all the goals I’ve worked toward, becoming a homeowner ranks as one of my proudest,” said Brenna Huckaby, five-time U.S. Paralympic medalist, Para Snowboard. “Getting there came with a lot of questions, which is exactly why I love this series: it answers them with honest, easy to understand conversations and makes homebuying feel attainable. As a Pennymac homeowner, I had that kind of guidance for myself, and now this video series puts it within reach for everyone watching.”

The sixth and final episode (“Non-Traditional Income”) focuses on borrowers with variable or non-traditional income, exploring how they can prepare to qualify for a mortgage and pursue homeownership on their own terms.

Variable income is a familiar reality for Team USA athletes, whose earnings are often seasonal and sponsorship-based. Those circumstances also led Pennymac to create the Welcome Home: Athlete Mortgage Program, a first-of-its-kind lending offering that provides dedicated loan officers, tailored home loan benefits and homeownership education.

All 6 new episodes join Pennymac’s “Home Team Training Center,” a growing library of educational tools and guidance for Team USA athletes and everyday homebuyers and homeowners.

Audiences can view the first three episodes now and follow the season as new episodes roll out on Pennymac’s website and YouTube channel. For more information please visit https://www.pennymac.com/WelcomeHomeSeries.
