Gustavo M. and his wife Osmani dreamed of owning their perfect home in Maryland. Tired of the cramped quarters of their apartment, where their two daughters shared a single room, they longed for a space to call their own. Their journey to homeownership, filled with challenges and triumphs, began with a fortuitous introduction from Hector B., a past client and friend of the Garcias Homes Team of Samson Properties.
Hector, who had become a cherished friend through various shared experiences, knew just the right people to help. He introduced Gustavo, a dedicated Spanish teacher at DC public schools, and his wife Osmani to the Garcias Homes Team.
The initial Getting to Know You meeting in July 2022 at our office was an eye-opener for them. We helped Gustavo and Osmani navigate the complexities of the home buying process and after a pre-qualification exercise, although they realized they weren’t ready to buy yet, we provided a clear plan of action to become ready and Gustavo and Osmani, with determination and diligence, worked tirelessly to turn their dream into reality.
The couple’s vision for their home evolved over time. They decided on a new construction property, a blank canvas to start their family’s new chapter. After exploring various sites, they found their ideal home – a perfect blend of space, comfort, and aesthetics.
We acted swiftly, contacting Stanley Martin, the builder of the chosen home. Our expertise and negotiation skills ensured Gustavo and Osmani secured their desired house and location lot, with lots of incentives from the builder.
The next steps were crucial – we helped them understand and agree to the contract terms. We meticulously guided Gustavo through the contract, ensuring his confidence and comfort with every clause.
Stanley Martin’s construction of the house was efficient and of high quality. However, to ensure perfection, we guided Gustavo to hire Top to Bottom Services for a thorough pre-drywall inspection. Although their findings were minor, Stanley Martin addressed them promptly, reflecting their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
As the closing date approached, Gustavo received expert financial guidance from Paul Lancaster at First Heritage Mortgage. Paul offered various loan options, explaining the pros and cons of each, enabling Gustavo to make an informed decision best suited for his family.
Finally, the much-anticipated day arrived. On November 16th, Gustavo, Osmani, and their daughters stepped into their new townhome, a symbol of their hard work and aspirations. The settlement, conducted smoothly by First Excel Title, marked the culmination of their journey.
The Garcias Homes Team, through their dedication and expertise, had not only helped the family find a house but had guided them in making it a home. Gustavo’s heartfelt video testimonial, soon to be shared, echoed their gratitude – a tribute to the people who turned their dream into reality.
Special thanks to Hector B. for his invaluable introduction to Gustavo, Paul Lancaster for his financial guidance to Gustavo to obtain a great loan, Stanley Martin for building a home of impeccable quality, and First Excel Title for ensuring a seamless transition to homeownership.
Gustavo and Osmani’s story is a testament to the power of dreams, perseverance, and the right guidance and we hope it would inspire many more people to pursue their own dreams of homeownership.
