Providing financial services to those that need them and might not be able to use traditional institutions

With rates low, it's a good time to buy a home, but some lenders raised credit scores and down payments-hard for 1st time buyers. We and other @neighborworks lenders are more flexible if you'll work hard. Take our home loan survey! @penquisCAP #NWWeek

Where in the past I've felt like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole while seeking home financing, MaineStream treated me like a person DESERVING of a decent home and of simple respect. My counselor gave me hope, encouragement, and support I need to see the process through

For #NWWeek and #HomeOwnershipMonth, here are some of our favorite client quotes for new homeowners and those improving their finances with our help from the last year. We love you guys too! @neighborworks @penquisCAP

Without ongoing counseling from Penquis, I could not even begin to navigate the complexities of buying a home. I look forward to meeting every few weeks and find the advice allows me to feel safe enough to continue. I would most likely have given up by now. -Pre-purchase client

Words can never express how grateful my husband & I both are for all your trust and help with our mortgage. I will miss talking with you and asking questions but I know as I said I can never repay you and your company for all you have done for my family. -Mortgage loan client

I just want thank you for all of your help with buying a house! I finally did it and I am so happy and grateful for all of your help. I bought a house with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths and it is absolutely beautiful. Thank you again for your help-you were so much fun to work with!
