chose WHEDA to buy their first home.
The Hillebrands moved into their three-bedroom
ranch home on a quiet cul-de-sac in McFarland on May 19, 2014. The previous owner had installed a new roof, a new furnace, new siding, and a new water heater all within the past five years. The existing home with all the recent upgrades was perfect.
“You can’t buy a cul-de-sac. We have a park that’s perfect for kids. We’re close to schools. I’m so excited we can mark the walls with Cora’s height. I can paint her room purple. The
yard for our daughter...that was the big selling point,” said Mrs. Hillebrand. “This has been a fantastic year!”
“WHEDA is a great program for borrowers who have limited funds for a down payment,” said Mr. Smart. “Without WHEDA, many borrowers would have to wait years to save up for a down payment or build up their credit score. The best part of my job is helping someone achieve their dream of buying and owning a home. WHEDA truly makes dreams come true for so many people.”
