Living the American Dream

By Olivia Rush, October 9, 2023

Congrats to Umar, Mohamed and their family for purchasing their first home in the US!

Umar’s family came to the US about 7 years ago from Myanmar (formerly Burma) by way of Malaysia as refugees. They have worked incredibly hard (6-7 days/week) to save a down payment to purchase a home of their own.

The house they purchased has incredible bones. We made one offer and negotiated a great price under their max budget plus a substantial credit to help them update some major systems.

I am in awe of this family’s resilience and determination and so grateful to be a small part of their journey. Just look at those smiles. CHEERS!
