Success Story: Champlain Valley
“They made everything so easy.”

To help become mortgage-ready to purchase, Lara attended a NeighborWorks Homebuyer Education Workshop. At the workshop, Lara remembers an exercise designed to help people decide what kind of a house fits their needs. “After the exercise, I realized that I was trying to make my priorities fit the house rather than make the house fit my priorities.” Within a few weeks, Lara found a home...“It all kind of worked out like a dream, this condo is just so perfect for me.”

Lara’s new condo may be a bit smaller than the house that she had looked at originally, but she’s close enough to her job that she doesn’t need to buy a car. “My good friend lives a few houses over and we walk to work every day. Also, the sense of community around here is great, there’s such a positive energy. I couldn’t be happier.”

“I’m so grateful for the HomeOwnership Center,” says Lara. “I can honestly say I wouldn’t have found my wonderful condo without all the knowledge I took away from the workshop. They just made everything so easy.”
