Going Where the Grass is Greener

James Green, a HOPE member-owner since 2019, grew tired of renting and sought the stability of home ownership to raise his family. While seemingly in good standing with a local bank, Green’s multiple attempts to apply for a mortgage loan were not met with success. He decided to move his money to HOPE, where he learned of HOPE’s specialized mortgage products. Mr. Green found HOPE’s first-time homebuyer program to be perfect for him and applied for a mortgage. HOPE’s associates walked him through the loan process and answered all of his questions. Green closed on his home in June 2023. “We are happy to finally be in our own home,” said Green. With a large yard, Green looks forward to hosting gatherings of friends and neighbors at his new home. “HOPE made our dreams come true.”
