Forever Grateful! 

Teacher Next Door Realtor: Rachel Simring
Teacher Next Door Loan Officer: Alisa Manning


"Alisa gave me a warm welcome to my home buying journey from the very beginning. I was totally new to how things work when it comes to home buying, but Alisa always made me feel like everything was possible. I remember her words after our first couple of phone interviews: "Let's get you into your new home, my friend." And that is exactly what we became, friends! And as a friend, Alisa took extra good care of me, acknowledging that I deserved the chance of having a place of my own and making sure that I was treated fairly throughout the application process. There were setbacks of course, the same way it happens in other aspects of life, but we were able to listen to each other and work things out. I am a homeowner now, and I am thrilled about it! Thank you, Alisa, for helping me conquer this dream! Forever Grateful!

REVIEW:

"I would give Sheff 10 stars if I could! Buying a home does not have to be stressful or scary and Sheff will take care of you every step of the way!  
We switched from a very well-known mortgage company to Sheff with the Teacher Next Door Program. I immediately felt at-ease on the phone talking to him.  He explained every step of the home buying process so I would understand everything I was doing. He made the whole thing so stress-free.  I felt like he was cheering us on the whole time and wanted what was best for us. Even with switching lenders halfway through the home buying process, Sheff and his team were able to get us to close on our house on the same date that the other lender had promised. Overall, Sheff and his whole team are amazing, and I would recommend them to anyone—especially first-time home buyers."

Teacher Next Door Realtor: Derek Venema

"My Teacher Next Door Team (Sheff, April, and everyone else :) ) made it possible for me to purchase my first home. They were with me every step of the way and were always available to answer my questions no matter what they were. The home buying process can be overwhelming but Sheff and his team made sure that I was an informed buyer. One of my biggest hurdles before finding out about this program was saving enough for a traditional down payment. The discounts provided and loan options I was given made it possible for me to achieve home ownership. I would recommend this program to all of my co-workers."

Boston Teacher Next Door Review

Congratulations to new first time home owners Molly O'Neill and Ethan Hoyt of Boston, MA!  

Here's what they had to say about the Teacher Next Door First Time Buyer's program:

I am writing to review our experience buying our first home through the Teacher Next
Door Program.  My partner, Ethan Hoyt, and I had never purchased a home. Because of this, there were a lot of logistics and financing information that we needed to learn. Our loan officer, James Ward, and our realtor, Jesse Mason were extremely patient and helpful with answering all of our questions. Before James, Jesse and Teacher Next Door, we had a loan officer and a real estate agent that were not helpful with educating us on everything we needed to know before making such a large investment. As a result, that first purchase ended up falling through.

The second time around, we so appreciated the expertise of James and Jesse. They both worked tirelessly, often times during non business hours, to ensure that everything would be done in a timely manner. As a result, in July of 2018, we closed on our first home! We are so grateful to begin this new chapter of our lives. We are so grateful to James and Jesse for making this dream come true.

Thanks again,
Molly O'Neil and Ethan Hoyt
