HOMEOWNERSHIP FEELS GREAT AT NEIGHBORWORKS® COLUMBUS!



Other Successful Home Owners

C. S. is a middle-aged grandmother who worked third shift at a local fueling station and mini-mart and whose grandchildren were currently living with her. Ms. S. is a graduate of the NeighborWorks Columbus program, which allowed her to qualify for the purchase of a home. This NSP renovated home, met her needs. It was an all brick home with additional square footage living area. The home had a large, double carport plus a single garage. The yard was fenced enhancing its security. Ms. S. happily closed on her home and she and her family moved in.

R. C. is a single father of three. He was shot in the back in his earlier years, rendering him paralyzed from the waist down and totally wheelchair dependent. Mr. C. is a graduate of the NeighborWorks Columbus program, which allowed him to qualify for the purchase of a new home. However, that new home had to be wheelchair accessible. This new three-bed room two bath home, met that requirement via a side carport door, but the front porch was virtually useless for Mr. C.  NeighborWorks Columbus redesigned the porch, adding a deck and ramp so that Mr. C. would have two useable entrances into his home.

N. M. is a single young woman who completed the NeighborWorks Columbus program. She currently works at a daycare and needed a home near her job that would qualify and accept Section8. When Ms. M. saw the house, she knew that was the house for her. After a few minor repairs, she successfully closed and moved into her dream home.
E. P. is a single, elderly woman who has never bought a home before. Ms. P. began her search for a home soon after completing the NeighborWorks Columbus program. Being single, and a senior citizen, her requirements did not depend on the size or accessibility of the home but of the size and slope of the yard. She required no hills or inclines. When she saw the house, she knew that she wanted to buy it. With two living areas, a large eat-in kitchen, plus three-bed rooms two bath, she could not stop saying how beautiful the home was. Her first plans after closing and moving in were to start planting flowers. She could not wait to have a garden of her own.

P. F. is a single woman who wanted to purchase and live in one of our newer homes in the Beallwood area. Her predicament was that she could not decide if she wanted the three-bedroom home with a carport, or the four-bedroom home with a parking pad. After several visits, and realizing she did not need a fourth bedroom, she made an acceptable offer on the three-bedroom home. She was so excited and anxious to move into the home, she immediately began packing her belongings where she was currently living. She continued to live out of those packed boxes until she closed on her new home and happily moved in.

M. C. is a single woman who works for a local production company, NCR. Due to a family member being wheelchair bound, she required a handicap accessible home large enough for mobility. She quickly qualified for a VA loan and began her search. Because she was overqualified for a NeighborWorks listed home, she chose another house. She continued to use the Lender and Realtor services provided by NeighborWorks Columbus.

Thanks to our caring staff, Success feels good!
