A Day of Hope-Giving back to your Community

This week on the Success of Real Estate Radio we want to take the time out to give back to the community, and we have the brain behind an event that we believe will take Atlanta by storm! We have back again to visit us Ms. Tracey Powell from the Atlanta Development Authority presenting a "Day Of Hope!" The Atlanta Development Authority is an integral part of the city of Atlanta. As the economic arm of the city of Atlanta, ADA has an awesome responsibility, and we can change lives for the better. As ADA’s Housing Finance Single Family Mortgage Specialist, I see how ADA makes a difference in people’s lives each and every day by issuing downpayment assistance to families and individuals purchasing homes in the Atlanta city limits. In some instances, we actually build personal relationships with the borrowers, our new city of Atlanta homeowners. We hear from the lenders and realtors, the non-profit homeownership educators, inspectors and attorney about how these programs are creating opportunities for people to change their lives. People are realizing the American Dream of homeownership, even in these tumultuous times. However, there are so many others that are unaware of the opportunities that are available and within their reach. So many people have given up on their dreams – it is time to reawaken those dreams through the power of knowledge. That is why we have created A Day of Hope.
