WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF FIGHTING FOR THE UNDERDOG

Owning a home is the best path towards wealth creation and financial stability long term. Too often people get left behind. Our team aims to break through traditional barriers to give everyone a shot at owning their own home.

For my family, owning a home has been an incredible blessing on all levels. There’s something special about the American Dream and owning the roof over your head.

Not only does it allow us to save for our future but we get many long term benefits like tax write – offs and appreciation. This only happens through homeownership. I’m incredibly excited to create this same opportunity for you.

NICK FRUEND

Nick is a St. Louis native who has been involved in the real estate industry for the last 8 years. Starting in property management he’s been successful as a top performing buyer’s agent as well as a listing agent in the St. Louis market since obtaining his real estate license in 2016. Coming from a family of realtors and being an investor himself, he’s well versed in all things real estate. 
 
Leading the lease to purchase program has been a pet project of his. He’s passionate about helping people make the best financial decisions to move their lives forward, and home ownership is the foundation for building wealth. Nick prides himself on truly listening to the needs of his clients and giving them the advice that they need based on their situation. 

WHY DO WE DO THIS?

In 2007 the real estate market crashed in large part because lenders were too loose with their guidelines. Today, mortgage requirements have gone the other way and are more restrictive than they ever have been making it harder for people to own their homes. On top of that our financial lives have become even more complex. Countless Americans are excluded from homeownership, not because they can’t afford a home, but because they don’t fit in the box that lenders created. Most of our team doesn’t fit in the box either since we are self-employed… That’s what we are out to change. We are opening up the opportunity to own a home for people that lenders say no to.
