Hi friends and family,
I’m so excited to share a big step Ben and I are taking in our lives—we’re working toward buying our own home here in Arizona! For the past five years, we’ve been dedicated to helping others find their dream homes as real estate professionals. Now it’s finally time for us to focus on making this dream come true for ourselves.
This journey hasn’t been easy. When I convinced Ben to return to Arizona five years ago, we had no idea what was ahead. Between the challenges of COVID, my dual metatarsal replacement, eye surgery, and my recent battle with breast cancer, life has thrown us curveballs. Medical bills piled up, making our goal of homeownership feel out of reach at times. But through it all, we’ve remained hopeful and determined.
As a Realtor, I recently joined a program called HomeFundIt. It’s an incredible platform that allows people to receive gifts and contributions toward a down payment from friends, family, and even everyday shopping. Through UpIt, every purchase made using our campaign page generates a rebate directly into our HomeFundIt account—on average, 7.5% back per purchase!
I’ve always been passionate about helping others achieve their home-buying dreams, whether it’s a young couple starting out, newlyweds beginning their lives together, or retired couples searching for their retirement dream home. That’s why I decided to try HomeFundIt myself—not just to help us reach our goal, but also to gain firsthand experience with the program so I can better guide my clients in the future. An educational journey to give myself firsthand knowledge for a program I promote to others.
How You Can Help
We would be so grateful for your support as we take this step! Here’s how you can help:
1. Contribute Directly: Visit our campaign page and click "Contribute Now" to gift-donate with a debit or credit card, for just any ole reason, or a special occasion.
2. Shop Through UpIt: Before your next online purchase, visit our campaign page and shop through the UpIt Store link. A percentage of your purchase will go directly toward our down payment.
3. Spread the Word: Share our story with others who might want to help or learn about the program.
4. Send Buyers to Us: We would love to help others reach their impossible dream.
This is a huge step for me, and every bit of support—whether it’s a donation, shopping through our UpIt link, or simply sharing our campaign—makes a difference. We are so thankful for the amazing people in our lives and can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with all of you.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of our journey!With love and gratitude,
Jan
