A Dream Becomes a Reality

Kelly and her husband Mikey were preparing to buy their first home, but the process seemed overwhelming. "We'd spent so much time planning and saving, but actually buying a house was something totally new to us," Kelly shares.

Home360 made all the difference, especially as first-time buyers. Their loan consultant helped them find the right mortgage and was always there when they had questions. An experienced real estate agent set up showings to buy a home they really loved.

Kelly says the program’s rebates and incentives made homebuying more affordable, too. She recommends Home360 to anyone beginning their own homebuying adventure.
