Veterans and first time home buyers, Jeramy and Cecilia, had a veryHappy Thanksgiving in their new home in Ruby Hill. Jeramy and Cecilia were anxious to buy their first home. They were at a challenging price point at $220k, and there was a lot of competition for many homes we looked at. They did find one they absolutely loved, but it was gone before we could even get our offer submitted.
We did finally find another home and went under contract. They completed their home inspection, radon testing and even purchased a survey. They were all set to close on Halloween, but due to unfortunate circumstances at the end, they were unable to close on the house; it was a very sad and disappointing time. Cecilia in particular couldn't forget the first home she fell in love with, and she asked Jeramy to drive her by the home after the other home fell through.
There was still a FOR SALE sign in the yard. I followed up with the listing agent and was told there were some loan challenges with the buyer, but they were still expecting to close. Ceciila wouldn't give up on her house. When I told her the news she was convinced in her heart that everything would work out this time despite my news.
Her faith paid off. The other contract on her dream home fell through, and we were able to submit an offer on the home before the house went back on Metrolist. The stars aligned with one final component to help Cecilia and Jeramy acquire their dream home in Ruby Hill.
This was the last home in the Del Norte Corporation's Neighborhood Stabilization Program. If you aren't familiar with it, (NSP) is a federally funded program dedicated to stabilizing communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. They do a really nice job of renovating these properties, and then they make them available to families that meet the income criteria requirements. They also provide closing cost loan assistance.
Congratulations Jeramy and Ceclia! It's always rewarding to help first time home buyers find a new home, but I really enjoy helping veterans, since I am a veteran myself.
