Teacher Next Door, the largest National Home Buying Program in the United States, provides the ultimate buying experience for teachers and school employees, along with the most benefits of any local or national program.

Teacher Next Door is the only program that allows you to combine the Teacher Next Door GRANT, with other teacher mortgage programs offer through our preferred lender.  All three of our preferred lending teams, work only with Teacher Next Door program participants and are required to offer certain financing options. 

Some of the options available through Teacher Next Door and our preferred lenders include down payment assistance and non-repayable grants.  These may include the Teacher Next Door Grant, Georgia Dream, Arizona Home in Five, Golden State Platinum, Florida First, Military Heroes, First Home, Chenoa and Unison.  Available mortgage loan options may include FHA, VA, USDA and Conventional. 

We also work with HUD's Good Neighbor Next Door program.  However, Good Neighbor Next Door homes are have extremely limited availability and the program has a number of special requirements that do not apply to Teacher Next Door. (I.e. special bidding process and three year residency requirement.)
