From Dream to Homeowner!✨

This was more than a closing, it was a moment filled with tears, gratitude, and pride.

She worked hard to create stability for her and her family.

Nothing was handed to her…she showed up, stayed committed, and earned this milestone.

Nada fue regalado…ella trabajó por este logro y nunca se rindió 💛

We were honored to help bridge the financial gap through down payment assistance so her dream could become reality.

This is what community partnership looks like:

🏡 Karen Guillén / Realtor Karen Guillen REMAX Ignite
💰 Kristi Amenda / Lender First Mid Bank & Trust
🤝 NeighborWorks Blackhawk Region / DPA

Cuando la determinación se une con el apoyo correcto… las puertas se abren.
