Exciting Day for New Century IDA!

Yesterday was a great day for New Century IDA. We had two closings yesterday afternoon! Closings are always exciting for New Century IDA and its clients.

Tasha Adams and Tisha Shaver both closed on their homes. For both of these women, closing on their home meant they had achieved their goal of homeownership. This is a great accomplishment, and one that took determination and dedication. Tasha and Tisha both had to complete 24 hours of financial literacy courses and 8 hours of homeownership training as well as pay off debts and raise their credit score in order to prove that they were ready for homeownership.

Tasha and Tisha both proved that they were up to the challenge! At their closings today, they were both surrounded by people from the New Century IDA team to help celebrate the occasion.

Jackie Baldwin, the IDA success coach, was there from Experiment in Self Reliance as well as Bianca Green, a loan officer from Forsyth County Department of Housing.

Dee Oliver from Allen Tate Real Estate was also there. Dee was the realtor for both Tasha and Tisha. As a sponsor for IDA classes, Dee gets to know IDA clients. She can help them find a house that is affordable for them but that also fits their needs.

Tom Jacobs from Hinshaw and Jacobs was the attorney for the closings and is always able to make the closings run smoothly and efficiently for IDA clients!

New Century IDA is grateful for all of these partners that help turn the dream of homeownership into a reality. Congratulations to Tasha and Tisha. Your hard work has paid off, and you are officially homeowners!
