All services in one place!

Teacher Next Door Realtor: Jesse Mason
Teacher Next Door Loan Office: James Ward

"We met James and the entire team through the Teacher Next Door Program. TND helped us in every stage of home buying process from obtaining pre-approval, assigning realtor, lawyer assistance, home inspection/appraisal, TND credits (financial support with closing which comes from the program to buyers), and competitive interest rate during closing. TND is a complete package for someone like us - first time home buyers where you get all services in one place. We’ve worked with Jesse (realtor) who is very knowledgeable, patient, and provided expert opinion in every step of the process. We learned a lot about the house itself from Jesse - structure, foundation, and tips on how to maintain a house. 

After speaking with TND team, we knew we are in great hands and someone we can trust with big decisions. We highly recommend TND program to buy a house. The team goes above and beyond to meet buyers needs and always eager to answer any questions along the way. It was a true pleasure working with the entire team!”

Thanks,

Tonight we finally got to unlock the door to our new home. We’re so grateful to all of you—especially Skye for showing up at every turn.

I know you all put up with a lot of worry and questions from me. Remember, for many this is a new language. I’m grateful to each of you for answering my questions and guiding the way. (Especially over text, Kendall!)

Congratulations to new first time home buyer Ashley Fair!  We wish you many happy memories in your lovely new home.   Special thanks to TND Program Specialists Maria Hickman for helping make dreams come true.
