Your Journey To Homeownership Starts Here
Apply Online
It is free, fast, easy and it will not impact your credit score. Once you are approved you will receive a home shopping budget.
Search
It is time to start looking for your home. Based on your budget and home criteria, you and I will choose from homes on the market or one of the move-in ready homes.
Time To Buy
When we find the home for you, a cash offer is made. The home will be inspected to make sure that it meets all of the necessary quality standards. The closing costs, taxes, and insurance will be paid for you.
Move In
Once the transaction is closed you will be given the keys, and you can move in. You enjoy the benefits of ownership from day one. You begin building equity savings in the home and feel free to paint the walls and hang up family photos.
Relax
You are at home now. Settle in, meet the neighbors, host a backyard barbeque. The home's major maintenance items are taken care of for you, so you can focus on getting mortgage-ready.
Buy Or Walk Away With Savings
When you are ready, you purchase the home at a pre-agreed price using your equity savings towards your down payment. If you choose not to purchase the home, you can walk away with your equity savings.
