What Other Program Participants Are Saying:

Wonderful Program!
"Teacher Next Door is a wonderful program! I am so glad I heard about this program, was able to get the information I needed to apply. Mike Jones was my cheerleader, go-to-for-answers guy, very supportive, and extremely patient with my seemingly endless barrage of questions. Cheri McLean was the best Realtor anyone could have! She was available for showings, questions, and a warm smile and friendly support in my search for a home. The entire team was helpful and willing to explain each process. I am so grateful for all they do! Thank you for helping me!"

Forever Grateful!
"My experiences with Teacher Next Door far exceed my expectations. I had contacted James a few years prior just to find out about the program and I was excited to find out that he was still our main contact. He treated me with the same respect and understanding as he did with my initial inquiry. I wasn’t ready a few years ago and James knew that. However, he still gave me helpful advice on how I could increase my credit score, how important it was to save for a down payment and left me with a feeling of confidence that I could accomplish this goal within the near future."
