Fannie Mae
For almost 90 years, Fannie Mae has provided a reliable source of affordable mortgage credit that supports homebuyers and renters across the country.
We enable 30-year fixed-rate mortgages that give homeowners stable monthly payments and the option to prepay at any time. This “American Mortgage” has become the standard, helping millions achieve the American dream of homeownership.
Freddie Mac
We serve America’s homebuyers, homeowners and renters by providing liquidity, stability and affordability to the housing market through all economic cycles and in all communities nationwide.
Freddie Mac was chartered by Congress in 1970 to support the U.S. housing finance system and help ensure a reliable and affordable supply of mortgage funds across the country. Rather than lending directly to borrowers, Freddie Mac operates in the U.S. secondary mortgage market, buying loans that meet our standards from approved lenders.
Those lenders are then, in turn, able to provide more loans to qualified borrowers and keep capital flowing into the housing market. Freddie Mac then pools the mortgages it buys into securities, which they sell to investors around the world.
