Homebuyer Spotlight: Q&A with Garrett Sausedo

What barriers did you have prior to working with NeighborWorks that inhibited you from buying your home?
I did not have a good understanding of the home buying process, the steps required to secure a home loan, or the common terminology related to home buying.
What prompted you to contact and work with NeighborWorks Waco?
My mom has worked at NeighborWorks Waco for over 20 years!
How was your experience working with NeighborWorks, and how did they help you reach your homebuying goals?
I had a great experience. NeighborWorks Waco guided me through the homebuying process by providing me with information, answering my questions, and working with the lender on my behalf.
What advice would you give to others looking to purchase a home?
First, making a budget and determining how a home and related expenses fit into it. Then keep an open mind and walk through a few homes to help you decide what features (yard size, location, bedrooms, etc) are most important to you.
