A Thanksgiving Miracle and a Story of Pure Resilience! 🙏🇺🇸🏡
I have to share one of the most incredible closing stories of my career, happening just one day before Thanksgiving!
Back in July, I crossed paths with a wonderful gentleman—a 100% disabled veteran—who was experiencing homelessness. I was able to help him secure one of my rental properties, and the very day we met, he looked me in the eye and declared his goal was to own a home. Rewind to 14 days ago, he showed up at my office on his bicycle with the most incredible news: he was pre-approved for a $300,000 loan! We mapped out a plan, found the perfect brand new, 4-bed, 2-bath DRHorton home in Pensacola, and went under contract immediately. Today, just 14 days later, we CLOSED!
A huge thank you to DRHorton for their incredible support of this veteran. They made this transaction seamless with a $1 down payment and an unbelievably low 3.99% interest rate. To top it off, the home appraised for $30,000 over the purchase price, meaning he has instant equity!
I took a chance on this man, and in less than six months, he is a homeowner. I might have lost a tenant, but I've gained a lifelong friend. He will be spending Thanksgiving in his NEW home as a first-time homebuyer. God is so good and allows our paths to cross for reasons greater than we know. This is what it's all about.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
