Fannie Mae's mission centers on making homeownership a reality for more individuals by providing a product that has come to dominate the housing arena: the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. This loan allows homeowners to plan for regular mortgage payments and make the potentially overwhelming task of buying a home a feasible option for more people. Fannie Mae supports this mission by working with secondary mortgage companies to pool mortgage-backed securities and then sell them on the open market by tranche.
While interviewers don't necessarily expect you to have experience providing financial planning or loan administration services to low-to-moderate income individuals, they do hope that your values align with Fannie Mae's mission and culture of inclusion and accessibility. If you do have experience in this space, feel free to share an example with your interviewer.

"I don't have any direct experience working with these populations, which is one of the main reasons that I'm drawn to this role with Fannie Mae. In my previous position, I worked in wealth management for high-income individuals, helping them manage their portfolios and grow their wealth. With wealth disparity on the rise in the US, I'm looking to pivot in my career as it's important to me to make financial planning more accessible for lower-income populations. Homeownership is without a doubt one of the most important investments individuals and families can make to increase their financial stability, and I'm looking to join in on fulfilling that mission with Fannie Mae."
