Jerome Cunningham

Homeownership shouldn’t feel confusing or out of reach — and for Jerome Cunningham, helping people realize it is possible is at the core of everything he does.

Jerome is a Minnesota Realtor® with Bridge Realty, specializing in first-time homebuyers, down payment assistance programs, and buyers who may feel unsure where to start. He has built his business around education, transparency, and access — making the homebuying process clear, realistic, and achievable.

In the past year alone, Jerome has helped over two dozen families secure more than $500,000 in down payment assistance and closing cost support, with some buyers purchasing homes with as little as $1,000 down and a minimum 620 credit score. His clients range from first-time buyers to repeat homeowners who qualify for select assistance programs.

What sets Jerome apart is his step-by-step, personalized approach. Every buyer begins with a detailed homebuyer questionnaire that allows Jerome to understand their goals, timeline, and financial picture before creating a custom strategy. From there, clients receive clear guidance, honest expectations, and ongoing support — never pressure.

Beyond working one-on-one with clients, Jerome is passionate about homeownership education. He regularly creates content and resources to break down complex topics like credit, lending, and down payment assistance, and he partners with local schools and community organizations to host free homebuyer workshops for families and staff.

Jerome believes that bad credit, good credit, or no credit shouldn’t stop someone from learning their options — and that the right information can change a family’s future.

If you’re thinking about buying your first home, planning for the future, or simply want to understand what’s possible, Jerome is ready to guide you every step of the way.
