“I cannot express enough how much your encouragement and expertise meant to me during that awful battle I was having with all the doubts and problems the bank was giving me. I felt you with me and kept vigilant until we finally walked away with the keys to our home. Many times I was full of doubt and despair but you gave me hope and comfort, always making sure I was doing the right thing with the correct people. I never knew on that day when I came to your class that you would play such a key role in the purchase of my house. Thank you for being there for me.”
“The teacher gave great advice about buying a house that I didn’t already know.”
“The instructor gave some of the best advice and information that I have ever heard. I am so much more optimistic and confident about the process than I was before I came in.”
