An Investment in Family

A credit union member since the age of five, Lee knows the importance of a strong financial foundation. He also knows homeownership is asset building, and he wanted to leave a legacy for his three sons. Lee says he did not think twice about going to HOPE for a mortgage loan. Still, he was astounded by the lengths the team of financial navigators went to help him achieve his homeownership dream. Lee, a law enforcement officer who worked an overnight shift, could only be reached after hours. That did not deter mortgage originators who assisted him with paperwork during calls as late as 8 p.m. “I don’t think I would have gotten that kind of service anywhere else,” Lee said. Within weeks, the transaction was complete. When Lee and his wife, Kyla, surprised their sons with their new home, the children were so happy they cried. Lee said the home is more than place to live; it is another way of teaching his children about being financially sound.
