Success Story:
A co-worker alerted Allison about a Homeownership Fair that she saw advertised at her local Sun-Trust branch. Allison needed to find out what steps she needed to take to begin the process to own her first home.  In the past she was “uncertain about moving forward because I didn’t know how it worked or what I needed to do…and you just don’t know, it’s overwhelming..”  She said that the fair was “very beneficial to me…I knew I need to take care of things financially to get in a position to make that next step and you gave me the information that I needed”

After a one-on-one counseling session with Taylor she found out where she stood and what was on her credit report that needed work.  “So I started paying down credit card bills to at least 30%  and I called and settled a medical bill (surprisingly for much less than I actually owed) and my score started going up” After just one month her score went up 86 points!

Allison had this to say of her experience: “ Buying a home is something I’ve wanted to do for sometime now.  But…I’ve been too scared to even start the process…..So coming to HomeSource and getting the credit counseling and learning what I needed to do.. has definitely given me confidence in moving forward with being a first time homebuyer, hopefully some time this year!”

Allison is so pleased with her results that she said: “any friends of mine that are first time homebuyers I am sending them your way, definitely”.
