Carter was an absolute joy to work with during the process of buying our home. She was extremely patient, attentive to our wants and needs, and flexible. She went above and beyond to help us find the best fit for our new stage of life. Carter and the Liz Johnson Group provide great service, support and communication throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her, best decision we made.

GUIDED ACCESS & CLIENT RESOURCES

Understand the resources available to support your journey.

What is HomeStretch and why do I need it?

HomeStretch is a homebuyer education course designed to help you understand the full process of purchasing a home. Many assistance programs require it, but even if they don’t, it’s a valuable step in building confidence and clarity before you buy.

What kind of support is available beyond financing?

There are community-based programs that offer financial coaching, education, and long-term housing support. These resources are designed to make homeownership more sustainable, not just attainable.

Are there programs that help with down payments?

Yes. There are several programs that can assist with down payments and closing costs, including options through Advancing Black Homeownership (ABH), Minnesota Housing, and local city initiatives. Eligibility varies, but these programs can significantly reduce upfront costs.

What is Re-Seed and similar programs?

Programs like Re-Seed are focused on community investment and housing stability. They may provide additional support depending on your situation and location, helping create more accessible pathways to ownership.

How do I know if I qualify for assistance?

Qualification depends on factors like income, credit, and homebuyer status. During our conversation, we can walk through your situation and identify which programs may align with your goals.

How do you help me navigate all of these options?

My role is to simplify the process. I help you understand what’s available, what applies to you, and how to use these resources strategically as part of your overall plan.

What if I'm not financially ready yet?

That’s completely okay. Many clients begin with preparation. We can focus on improving credit, building savings, and creating a plan so you’re positioned to move forward when the time is right.

Do these resources apply if I'm selling a home?

Yes. Sellers benefit from preparation resources as well, including guidance on home readiness, vendor coordination, and strategic positioning to maximize value and ensure a smooth process.
