It takes lots of people working together to get good, quality, energy-efficient homes built. These partners in the construction and energy efficiency space joined our Construction & Development team for a tour of current homes, focused on how we can improve energy efficiency in our projects. This helps to make homes more affordable and healthy for residents. We learned a lot and had lots of great dialogue! Thanks for stopping by!

We're grateful for the partnership of our friends in offering powerful education for aspiring homeowners. Congratulations, buyers, on all your hard work! #firsttimehomebuyers #homebuyereducation #kansascityhomes
Wow! More than 90 people came together with one goal today, they are determined to buy their first home in 2024! This was the largest homebuyer class we have ever had that we actually had to use 2 seperate rooms to hold everyone. The families asked so many great questions and they inspire us to keep working hard at First Federal Bank of Kansas City to help them every step of the way. We can’t say thank you enough to our wonderful partners, our amazing El Centro, Inc. Pres Erica Andrade and her dedicated staff, the very best credit counselor, Lisandro Gonzalez Gonzalez with Community Housing of Wyandotte County, Inc. (CHWC) and the wonderful leadership of Valentin Avila Hernandez and his hardworking team at Dulce Hogar KC at Keller Williams Realty Partners, Inc. Let’s do it! Si se puede! #HomeownershipDreams
