Excellent Job!
Teacher Next Door Realtor: Maureen Frederick Teacher Next Door Loan Officer: Scott McRae
"Scott did an excellent job walking through each phase of the home-buying process. He gets to know you and your needs which helped put us at ease throughout the beginning phase of home buying. As a first-time buyer, there were lots of questions on our end and Scott did a great job answering everything in a way that made you feel like you were making the best decision. He was easily reachable by text, phone, and email and would even take late calls when things changed or came up. After we closed on our home, Scott congratulated us and had us look forward to some mail. It turned out to be a beautiful cutting board outlined as our state with our home coordinates, most definitely a result of all the cooking plans we've talked about throughout our phone calls.”Andrea Syukur Chicago, IL
Worked Tirelessley!
Public Servant Next Door Realtor: Carlos Albelais Public Servant Next Door Loan Officer: Laura Owens
"Laura Owens worked tirelessly to help my husband and I to purchase our dream family home. As first time home buyers, Laura helped us to understand all the steps to home ownership. Laura is hardworking, efficient, kind, honest, and professional. We can't recommend working with her highly enough!”Alexandra Love Tucson, AZ

Great Communication!
Public Servant Next Door Realtor: Wendy Schaller Public Servant Next Door Loan Officer: Laura Owens
"Great communication from start to finish. I did the Public Servant Next Door program and was able to take advantage of several benefits during the home purchase process. It took 3-4 months since I kept getting outbid; but Laura, Heather, Jordan and my real estate agent Wendy were with me every step of the way. Once I had an offer accepted the escrow and closing process was smooth. Working with this team virtually they were professional, transparent, efficient and were able to make accommodations for buying/relocating from out of state. Thank you for all of your help. I would highly recommend this program to anyone eligible.”Bethani Eguia Nakoa Las Vegas, NV
Amazing!
Public Servant Next Door Realtor: Wayne Sellers Public Servant Next Door Loan Officer: Brian Friedman
"Bryan was amazing to work. He was thorough and quick to respond. He got me the best loan while keeping my needs and wants in mind. He helped me filter through some home loan myths I thought I knew about down payments and figure out the best approach to close on my house.”Kayla Brooksbank Cincinnati, OH

We were excited to participate in this year’s Hollis Cancer Center Promise Run! The run was organized by Lakeland Regional Health, and had over 1,200 participants, volunteers, and spectators who joined us in the race against cancer!
The Promise Run is inspired by people who believe that a community can come together to conquer cancer. It’s a celebration of the lives of loved ones touched by cancer and a Promise to strengthen the health of everyone around us.
Nurse Next Door® was pleased to sponsor the LRH Weight Loss Clinic Team (Weigh to Go Team), as well as volunteer at the event. What a fun day, for a great cause! Special shout-out to Joshua Farrell, Scottie Kautz, Paige Singletary, Sharon Parks, and all the other participants and volunteers in this year’s event!

Above and Beyond!
Firefighter Next Door Realtor: Rickesha Owens Firefighter Next Door Loan Officer: Brian Cohrt
"Brian helped walk my through every step of the process and went above and beyond to make sure I understand and he was detailed and thorough. He was caring and put me at ease through the entire process. I would highly recommend him to help you! His communication and support were amazing!! ”Josh Ireland Tipton, IN
Definitely Recommend!
Firefighter Next Door Realtor: Diane Adkins Firefighter Next Door Loan Officer: Bryan Friedman
"Bryan and his team were great. Everyone was easy to talk to as they understood the emotions, frustration and anxiety that comes with a home buyer, especially for clients like me. The home buying process was challenging to say the least but Bryan was very knowledgeable. He was able to help me and work something out to make my dream home a reality. I was definitely skeptical at first, just because I’m new to all this, but after initially talking to Bryan, he was so confident and nice that I decided to trust my instinct and go with it. Bryan’s confidence gave me the strength to have patience. He’s always so cheerful, hopeful, and supportive when he called and that gives me more reassurance and feel secured. Trust is something that is hard to hand over, but I knew deep down that I trusted Bryan enough to help me through this. I’ve always felt like he was my advocate and I had never once doubted him and his team. Great person to talk to and I would definitely recommend him and his team if chances come up.”Hanh Nguyen Jamestown, NC

Congratulations the Diaz Family, on your beautiful new home in Arizona! Evette works in the Tucson area, and was able to take advantage of the Nurse Next Door Grant and other benefits. Thank you for all you do to help our community! We are happy to be part of your journey. Here's what they had to say about their experience with the program:
House of Our Dreams!
Nurse Next Door Realtor: Brian Cohrt Nurse Next Door Loan Officer: Carlos Albelais
"When we started this journey we were fearful and nervous but working with Brian made us feel comfortable and secure with this whole process, letting us ask questions not knowing anything, like how it works, the vocabulary, the market, etc. At times when we felt overwhelmed, he was there to remind us of the big picture at the end. Helped us understand everything we had no idea about this business. We will make sure that our friends who plan to buy a house in the future get in contact with Brian so they have the same experience as us. He made everything easier, even though we only spoke a few handful of times on the phone, I wished we would’ve spoken more since he got us the house of our dreams. We appreciate Brian more than whoever reads this understands, get this man a raise and hope that he keeps being recognized for his achievements. Thank you so much Brian!!!! ”Evette Diaz Tucson, AZ

A question we often hear is, "Who qualifies for the Teacher Next Door Program®?" The Teacher Next Door Program® was designed to increase home ownership among teachers and other school employees, support community development and increase access to affordable housing, free from discrimination. It was also designed to be much more inclusive and impose far fewer restrictions, than HUD's Good Neighbor Next Door Program. (Which only includes classroom teachers, police, fireman and EMT's.) Teacher Next Door® currently has grants and down payment assistance available for ALL teachers and school employees. All teachers and school employees includes, but is not limited to, school bus drivers, media specialists, district office staff, district IT professionals, and more. The above list is just an example of those who qualify. You may purchase ANY home on the market through Teacher Next Door®, not just HUD homes. In order to see how much you qualify for, simply click apply now and complete the short pre-application. Your personal financial information is not collected on the pre-app and there is NO CREDIT CHECK. Next Door Programs® is the administrator of several programs, including Teacher Next Door.
