What Barrett's Clients Say
Real stories from Tampa Bay first-time home buyers who used down payment assistance programs to buy with little or nothing out of pocket.
“Barrett found us $23,000 in assistance we didn't know existed. We moved in with zero out of pocket.”
Sarah M.
Tampa, FL (2025) — First-time buyer — FHA + Hometown Heroes stack
“We were told we couldn't afford a home. Barrett stacked Hometown Heroes with FHA and we closed with $800 out of pocket on a $320K house.”
Marcus & Diana R.
Riverview, FL (2026) — First-time buyers — FHA + Hometown Heroes + seller concessions
“As a veteran, I knew about VA loans but had no idea I could stack Hometown Heroes on top. Barrett saved me over $18,000 in closing costs.”
James T.
Brandon, FL (2025) — Veteran buyer — VA + Hometown Heroes stack
“Barrett explained every program in plain English. No pressure, no jargon. He found us a program combination we never would have discovered on our own.”
Priya & Raj K.
Wesley Chapel, FL (2026) — First-time buyers — Conventional + HFA Preferred Plus
“I was renting for $2,100/month. Barrett showed me I could own for less than that with DPA covering my down payment. I wish I had called him a year earlier.”
Christina L.
St. Petersburg, FL (2025) — First-time buyer — FHA + FL Assist
“Barrett checked the USDA map and our dream house qualified for zero-down financing. No down payment, no PMI. We couldn't believe it.”
