Yesterday was an amazing day!

As part of our Homeownership Financial Literacy Program with I-Care, Inc., we hosted an informative session all about home financing 🏡💰.

A huge thank you to the amazing team at D.R. Horton Wallace Springs for letting us use their beautiful model home to hold the class! Blake Keziah, with Fairway Mortgage did an outstanding job leading the session and breaking down mortgage options for our attendees 📝.

It’s always a bonus when our very own Angela Payne, Realtor, gets to bring her real estate expertise into the mix!

Thank you again, Blake, for sharing your knowledge and treating everyone to breakfast! And big thanks to Kristin and Yolanda at D.R. Horton for your warm hospitality!

Empowering future homeowners, one class at a time!

Let’s Talk Credit Reports!

Today, we had the privilege of teaching a class about the importance of obtaining your credit report. Why does it matter?

✅ Know Where You Stand: Your credit report is your financial report card, showing how lenders see you.
✅ Spot Errors Early: Mistakes on your report can cost you. Reviewing it regularly ensures your information is accurate.
✅ Protect Against Fraud: Monitoring your report can help you catch identity theft before it causes major damage.

Take charge of your financial future by checking your credit report annually at www.AnnualCreditReport.com. Knowledge is power!
