Homeownership Incubator
While some people come to us ready to buy immediately, most people need a little time to work on debt, credit, savings, or other issues before they will be ready for such a major purchase as a home. In fact, most of our clients find they need anywhere from six to twelve months to get where they need to be.
If this sounds like you, the Homeownership Incubator program could be a great fit. It is a client-driven coaching and support program to help you through every step of that sometimes-daunting process. Our Specialists will work with you to assess your mortgage readiness, identify any barriers that may be standing in your way and help you develop an action plan to reach your goal of buying a home.
