Congratulations to the Guggino Family, on your beautiful new home in California! Thank you for the 5-star review! We were excited to be part of your journey!

Patrick teaches in the Long Beach area, and was able to take advantage of the Teacher Next Door grants and benefits. Here is what they had to say about their experience with the program.


Always Upfront!


Teacher Next Door Realtor: Kelly Hughes
Teacher Next Door Loan Officer: Brian Cohrt

"Brian worked with us from the beginning with the Teacher Next Door program. He was always upfront about anything, good or bad, but would always try to see a way through any issue that arose. He was in constant communication with us about the status of things or if he needed anything. And on top of all of his technical knowledge on how to negotiate the mortgage landscape, he is just an incredibly nice guy.”

Dynamic Duo! 


Teacher Next Door Realtor: Trevin Prince
Teacher Next Door Loan Officer: Will Preecs


"WILL PREECS! His support from the beginning of this process was ALWAYS professional & prompt (even with the time difference). The resources and support he extended not only got me into my FIRST home, but also provided me with the knowledge I needed I as first-time home buyer. I am truly grateful for the experience I shared with the team (Will & Danielle specifically; Dynamic Duo)! When I am ready for my “forever home” I pray I am able to experience this level of quality service if I’m unable to do it again with Will & Danielle. Thank you both soooo very much for everything!

Understanding and Kind! 

Nurse Next Door Realtor: Michele McMahan
Nurse Next Door Loan Officer: Tatum McKissack

"Tatum and her team were on top of everything from day one. I was in communication with her or her assistant, Joshua, almost daily. I also had a few moments of nervousness throughout the process and Tatum was always very understanding and kind as she talked me through the process. I always felt calmer after talking with her. She was always available, as was Joshua, and I appreciated all of their hard work getting me and my family into our new home!

The BEST! 

Teacher Next Door Realtor: Arial Sasser
Teacher Next Door Loan Officer: Laura Rodriguez


"Laura Rodriguez and her team were the best. I bought my family home after my dad passed away. I used the "Teacher Next Door" program as I was desperate to keep the home, but low on funds at the time. Laura stuck with me even when the house was put on hold for eighteen months due to slow moving (Covid) probate. I finally just closed and was surprised with a last-minute chance to lock my rate at lower than expected. Laura is very knowledgeable and helped me navigate several challenges. Her team also got creative and helped keep my closing costs and down payment to a bare minimum. In fact, I had no out of pocket expenses when it finally came to closing as I also received my portion from probate upon closing. They helped me navigate something known as "gift of equity" which was also a tremendous help. Laura's team cut my expenses wherever they could, and they recommended a great insurance company and title company while also getting me discounts through the Teacher Next Door program."

I felt confident and assured the whole time working with Rahmun and this wonderful program through all of the ups and downs of this very competitive housing market. I couldn't ask for any better experience. Thank you for making my housing dreams come true!

"Thank you to the Teacher Next Door organization. Becoming a first time home owner can be very overwhelming. Thanks to great customer service from Sheff and Cheri I was successful. Sheff patiently explained the financing options until I was confident to move forward. Cheri delightfully showed me a variety of homes emphasizing my desired features until we found the perfect one. I would encourage anyone looking for a home to look at the Teacher Next Door organization. Who knows, you too may find your forever home!"
