Dream House!

Joseph Mendola III

Plant City, FL

Dream House!

"Words will not express our thanks Sheff. We thank you and your team for helping us with the purchase of our dream house."

They ROCK!

Deputy Sheriff Townes

South Florida

They ROCK!

"Bryan was knowledgeable and helpful. Cheri and Lisa were amazing, always checking in on us to inform us where and how things were going. Both were always available to answer our questions. They rock! The Officer Next Door Program is outstanding! They walked me through and explained the process. Cheri was the best. She had great knowledge of the area and the home buying process. She was willing to adjust her schedule to accommodate my schedule and gave great feedback and her honest opinion when asked. The Officer Next Door Program and Cheri are very reliable. If you’re looking for a forever home this is the program to call."

So Grateful!

David and Jamie Martinez Solis

So Grateful!

"Tonight we finally got to unlock the door to our new home. We’re so grateful to all of you—especially Skye for showing up at every turn. I know you all put up with a lot of worry and questions from me. Remember, for many this is a new language. I'm grateful to each of you for answering my questions and guiding the way. (Especially over text, Kendall!) We will love this home deeply and will send photos once it’s decorated."
