Success Stories

Homebuyer Testimonials

Real stories from families who achieved homeownership through this program.

Naqweia Stowers celebrating her new home

This is Naqweia Stowers.

She received $15,000 DPA as a first-time homebuyer — and got a check back at closing!

"My third time going through the home-buying process was finally a success, thanks to Tanya and David. They genuinely care about their community and are passionate about helping Black and Brown families break generational curses by building wealth through homeownership.

The First-Time Homebuyer Program gave me an opportunity I never thought I'd have. It covered $15,000 toward my down payment, so I didn't have to worry about coming up with that money on my own. I even left closing with a bonus toward my first mortgage payment from the leftovers out of the 15k.

I'm beyond grateful for Tanya and David. Their support truly changed my life, and I'll never forget what they did to help make homeownership possible for my family."

She received $15,000 DPA on a new construction home!

"Purchasing my first home through the $15,000 DPA Program for First-Time Homebuyers was truly a blessing. This program made what once felt like a distant dream become a reality. As a first-time homebuyer, I had many questions and uncertainties, but every member of the team was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to help.

What impressed me most was their commitment to helping me overcome any hurdles that came up along the way. Rather than seeing challenges as roadblocks, they worked diligently to find solutions and ensure I was able to achieve homeownership.

If you're a first-time homebuyer, I highly recommend the $15,000 DPA Program. Their dedication to helping people achieve the dream of owning a home is unmatched. I am incredibly grateful for this program and the amazing team who made my dream of becoming a homeowner come true."

Carmello Mitchell celebrating homeownership with his REALTOR

This is Carmello Mitchell

He received $15,000 DPA plus an additional $2,500!

"At 23 years old, I never imagined I'd be a homeowner. I honestly thought I would be renting for years to come. Thanks to Tanya Day and her amazing team, that dream became a reality.

Not only was I able to purchase my first home, but I also received $15,000 in down payment assistance plus an additional $2,500 to help make homeownership possible.

The best part? I went from paying $1,600 a month in rent to having a $940 monthly mortgage! That's life-changing.

Tanya was an incredible Realtor who walked me through every single step of the process. She was patient, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. As a first-time buyer, I never felt lost because she made sure I understood everything.

Sue was equally amazing. She took the time to explain the lending process from beginning to end and made sure I felt confident every step of the way.

If you're thinking about buying a home, don't wait. I never thought I'd own a home at 23, but now I'm a proud homeowner. I can't thank Tanya and Sue enough for helping make this happen!"
