I wanted to share my experience with the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA) for…read moreanyone who dreams of becoming a homeowner but feels that homeownership is out of reach. I recently began the NACA program, and so far, I have been very impressed. Their mission is to help families achieve affordable homeownership while avoiding predatory lending practices. NACA offers a mortgage program with no down payment, no closing costs, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and no credit score requirement. It may sound too good to be true, but they have helped thousands of families across the country become homeowners. I personally know two friends here in California who successfully purchased their homes through NACA, and seeing their success gave me the confidence to begin my own journey. One thing I appreciate most is that NACA doesn't simply hand out mortgages--they take the time to prepare you for the responsibilities of homeownership. The program requires participants to complete several steps to demonstrate financial readiness, ensuring they are in the best possible position to succeed. I see this as a tremendous benefit because it helps build a strong foundation for long-term homeownership. After renting a wonderful home for 17 years, I was forced to move when the property was sold. I am currently living in a small ADU while working toward my goal of owning a home. Although I am still in the early stages of the NACA process, I am excited and optimistic about what lies ahead. If owning a home is one of your goals, I encourage you to look into the NACA program and see if it's a good fit for your situation. It could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. I wish everyone pursuing homeownership the very best of luck on their journey!

He provided different loan options, kept us updated on market trends and rate forecasts, and helped us lock in a great rate at the right time. He even worked with us to adjust the timeline so we could successfully get the house we loved. What really stood out to us is that they don't simply finish the transaction and walk away--they continue to be there and offer support whenever we need it. We truly appreciate Regan and his team for making the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Regan and his team!

Nanci was able to get me approved for a house at my maximum. She is super responsive via text, phone and email.

It turns out Grant has been in the business so long that most folks in the south bay know him. Grant was able to vouch for me and I won the bid against a whole cash offer because with Grant as my loan officer I was as good as a whole cash offer. When it came time to originate the loan they were on top of what I needed and got us closed on time. Pretty amazing given how much documents are needed nowadays. I have worked with several different loan officers and Grant and Amber were really the best! I will definitely use them for my next purchase or refinance.

HARD TO REACH BRENCH It started in a parking lot--one of…read morethose shared ones where different businesses sit next to a bank. Nothing unusual. Just another day. I saw an envelope lying on the ground between the cars. At first, I honestly thought it was trash. Something a bank customer had dropped and didn't care about. I almost ignored it and kept walking. But then something in me--my instinct--kicked in of order. I looked around. So I picked it up, thinking,Who could be this messy person I'll just throw it away later, and put it in my pocket so I can do it right away Then I went diration to the bank and got busy with my own business. And just like that--I completely forgot about the envelope. It wasn't until I was far away, already heading home, that it suddenly hit me. The envelope. And I even asked myself, "Why didn't I just throw it away at the bank?" By the time I got home, curiosity got the better of me. I opened it. Inside, I found a paper, some money, and a smaller envelope with handwritten numbers. I counted $140. But on the paper, it looked like 740 was written down. That's when my thoughts started going somewhere deeper. This might be someone's missing portion of rent money. This person could really need this. It didn't feel like trash anymore. It felt important. So I picked up the phone and called the bank. The first person I spoke to didn't take it seriously. She said something like, "It's your lucky day," almost like I had just found free money. That didn't sit right with me at all. Lucky day? No. That didn't feel right. I called again. The second person told me that someone had already come in asking about lost money. That made me pause. Because at that point, I was already far away from the bank. So now I'm thinking--how does that line up? I called a third time and asked them to contact me if anything came up. But now my mind wouldn't stop. What if they're not telling me the truth? What if someone really needs this and it never gets back to them? What if I just keep it--and it was meant for someone struggling? That didn't sit right with me either. So I made a decision. I got back in my car and drove all the way back to the bank.It wasn't convenient. It took time. It was honestly a pain in the neck after everything I had already done that day. But I walked in--and I handed the envelope over with the question if not someone claims it if I get it back. So I got the answer Someone claims it already. I made sure that's the person on the phone told me the truth...so I was confident to give it to the bank manager assistant. But not without giving me the name good it isn't a high amount but for other it is. No direct banker only call center what are only can talk to the bank. So far so good.
