From Public Housing to Home Ownership

Making dreams come true together in Ahoskie

Ahoskie, NC – After 17 years living in public housing, Mrs. Eunice Bond dreamed of owning her own home, but living in Ahoskie with a population of less than 5,000 and an average income around $19,000 per year for a single adult household (only slightly over the state poverty level of $17,000), she knew it would be an uphill battle.  And in this hot real estate market, where would she find an agent to weather the ups and downs of the transaction process with her?  Enter hometown girl, Stephanie Askew.

 

“I knew Ms. Bond because I grew up in Ahoskie, a small town where everyone just kind of knew each other. I was initially hesitant to help her because since I live in Raleigh now, I should focus on the real estate market in Raleigh, but something just led me to say yes. I just knew it was for a reason. I grew up in an environment where home ownership was not the norm. Many people either rented or used government subsidized programs,” said Askew. 

 

Mrs. Bond saved for two years to accumulate the money for her down payment and closing costs, and she was pre-approved for a mortgage, so she was in a position to act quickly when the right house came along for her and her 16-year-old son, but even still, “In Ahoskie, there isn't a lot of inventory, especially at Ms. Bond's price point, so I knew it was going to be a challenge finding her the right house,” said Askew. “There was a particular house that I had passed by many times. It was remodeled on the inside, and it was beautiful. I wasn't 100% sure if she was going to like it though, because it didn't have the full two bathrooms that she wanted. But when I showed it to her, she loved it!”

 

Not only was Mrs. Bond new to home ownership, but this was also Askew’s first real estate transaction as a newly licensed agent. “I learned so much through the process, from making an offer, to doing all the paperwork, etc. I felt like I had just climbed the highest mountain that had ever been put before me,” she said. “It was never even about compensation for me. There were times she and I cried together over things in our personal lives, or times she was discouraged because she didn't think things were going to work out, but her faith was strong. And I knew we were going to accomplish what we set out to do.”

 

“Our office is two hours away from Ahoskie, so every time she had to do a showing or an inspection, Stephanie was on the road, sometimes making a four-hour roundtrip drive just to complete a task,” said Mikaela Rojas, Broker/Owner of EXIT Realty Preferred Triangle. “Stephanie told me her goal in becoming a REALTOR® was to help people but more specifically she wanted to give back to her hometown community. Stephanie was able to get Ms. Bond into a house, under list price, under appraised value, and with a credit at closing that left her with some money in her pocket. That is truly an amazing thing to do in this hot seller’s market. She showed immediately that she was devoted to her client, no matter what the outcome would be, and that she cared more about her client accomplishing her goal of first-time homeownership, than she did her own desires.”

 

Word got around about Mrs. Bond’s accomplishment and congratulations and well-wishes poured into both her social media channels and Askew’s.  “A lot of people were looking at Ms. Bond saying, ‘Well if she can do it, then I can do it too.’ In fact, the management company at her apartment complex reached out to us and asked if they could do a piece on her because they felt that her story was one that would also inspire a lot of other residents in public housing to pursue home ownership,” said Askew. “Mrs. Bond accomplished the American Dream, and I got to a play a role in that. I will never forget her!”

Most Renters Strive to Own a Home

Canton, TX (Grassroots Newswire) 3/5/18 --According to new consumer survey data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), a majority of non-homeowners said they do want to own a home in the future and believe that home ownership is part of their American Dream. This data also found that non-homeowners' lifestyle changes and improvements regarding their financial situations vs. seeing an increase in the amount of their rent are more of a motivating factor when it comes to buying a home.

"Housing demand in 2018 will be fueled by more millennials finally deciding to marry and have kids and the expectations that solid job growth and the strengthening economy will push incomes higher." says Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist.

Wells, Maine (Grassroots Newswire) 08-07-2012 -- This past weekend in a coast to coast concerted effort to educate renters about the possibility of owning a home for equal to or less than the amount they are paying in rent EXIT Realty agents knocked on thousands of rental doors.

To Dream the American Dream

The dream is alive and well during Homeownership Month

Las Vegas, Nevada (Grassroots Newswire) 06/16/2009 -- Is it still reasonable to dream the dream of home ownership? Although the white picket fence comes in many forms nowadays, from condos to co-ops, from townhomes to bungalows, the dream is still a realistic one for American families this June, Homeownership Month.

"It's not just a platitude to say that this is the best time in years to buy real estate," says Tami Bonnell, President of the US Organization of EXIT Realty Corp. International. "The National Association of Homebuilders recently announced that housing affordability has jumped to its highest point in the past 18 years and the National Association of REALTORS reported that existing home sales rose in April."

Industry insiders know this is good news but it has left consumers with many questions. In order to address those questions, Ms Bonnell will be holding two free, half-hour webinars for the general public on Wednesday, June 24^th at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. ET. There will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions during the sessions. Now anyone can ask an objective, experienced real estate executive for the real scoop - and get a straight answer. This is a must-attend event for anyone who is thinking of buying or selling real estate or wondering about where the market is going.

"Here in Las Vegas the market has picked up but there are still great opportunities at hand for those who can now buy and hold, this spells pure potential. In three to five years the return on your investment will amaze you." said EXIT Realty Imoti Broker/Owner Tanya Kovacheva.

To participate, visit http://www.swiftpage5.com/SpeClicks.aspx?X=2X0MWJG5HQU0LV5K08SBW0 and click on either the 4:00 link or 7:00 link to register. You will need an internet connection and speakers to participate.

Tami Bonnell's real estate career spans more than 25 years during which she was instrumental in building three major brands. Ms Bonnell has been featured several times in major industry publications, including Real Estate Magazine, Bay State REALTOR and Frog Pond Communications. She is a much sought-after international speaker, addressing thousands at events such as RISMedia's Leadership Conference in NY, Inman News Conference in San Francisco and the Top 500 Power Brokers at The National Association of REALTORS Convention. Since becoming President of the US Organization for EXIT Realty Corp. International, her focus is on growth and profitability for Regions, Brokers and Agents. Ms Bonnell is available for interviews.
