We would like to congratulate Amy and Justin of St. Pete, FL! (pictured above) They closed on their new home just in time to celebrate the holidays in their new home.  Here's what they had to say about Teacher Next Door.

REVIEW:

"The Teacher Next Door program has helped us tremendously at getting us into a new home that fits for our family. As a blended family of five kids - Sheff helped us to get the mortgage loan and understand the mortgage process. He had weekly updates and very easily answered our questions. Now that we were pre-qualified, we then next turned to Cheri to help us find a house that fit our needs. She was very prompt via text messaging and emailing for questions about houses.She was also very flexible to fit our schedule at looking at houses for us to see. After we found our house, Cheri and Sheff did everything in a exceptional manner and very prompt at getting the paperwork processes through the lender. Also, April and Caress contributed to helping us with paperwork and questions needed for this to happen. At the end of the day, we are in a new home that meets our needs and looking forward to raising our family in our home.

The Teacher Next Door Program has met our exceptions!"

Thank you to all,  

Amy and Justin

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
Teacher Next Door Loan Officer: Sheff Brisbin

"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."

He was very patient and always responded quickly when I had questions. I recommend Teacher Next Door to all teachers!"

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
