Our Important Role In Our Local Real Estate Market
In this crazy economy, we help stabilize neighborhoods all around DuPage County by matching up properties with the people who will care for them as their own – even those who don’t necessarily qualify for a loan from banks.
We were frustrated by the sheer number of folks who want to buy, but can’t qualify for loans from banks. There are tons of great homes just sitting vacant! Sellers want to sell, and buyers want to buy… but no banks will help!
That’s why we took action, and started New Day Homes.
We help ensure that homes around DuPage County stay occupied – with people who will care for their community.
We want to make sure our community can grow and stay healthy.
Times are tough.
It takes innovative solutions to tough problems, but we love to help people reach their dreams. That’s what makes all the hard work worthwhile.
We help sellers create lease/option agreements with qualified tenants who aren’t ready for a traditional mortgage.
We help families find great homes and apartments that they can eventually own – but live in right away.
We’re proud to invest in our communities.
