Working with feels a little different than you might expect.

There’s strategy. Of course.

But there’s this collaboration, creative problem solving that happens.

Spent a couple hours capturing the team on location at one of their clients!

Thank you, Melissa, for the whirlwind, creative afternoon!!!

🏠🚀 Hey Facebook friends! I know I have MANY friends who have kiddos that are of the age that they may be able to purchase their first home. So I wanted to share this opportunity: (I seriously wish we had this back 25 years ago!!)
It's called The Homeownership Opportunity Program (HOP) and will back you up with up to $20K for down payments, closing costs, and even those pesky counseling fees. (WHAAATT!
) 🎉

✅ Quick facts:

It’s a race! Funds are first-come, first-served until they run dry. They refresh every spring, so keep your eyes peeled.
Gotta be your first home and you shouldn’t earn more than 80% of your area's median income. You can buy a house, condo, duplex, you name it.
Chip in at least $500, take a homebuyer class, and make sure your housing debt doesn’t take more than 40% of your income.
Works with most mortgages, but there’s a catch: sell within 5 years, and you gotta pay some of it back.

👉 Perfect for anyone looking to break into homeownership without breaking the bank. 🏡💖
