Home Lending Options with Donna

💰 Did you know some homebuyer grants can be STACKED? 🏡

Many buyers assume they need a huge down payment to purchase a home, but there are grants and assistance programs that can help with down payments, closing costs, and more.

In some cases, multiple programs can be combined—saving you from coming up with more money!

Before you assume homeownership is out of reach, talk to a mortgage professional and explore all your options. You may qualify for more assistance than you think.

🔑 Don’t leave free money on the table.

⚽🗽 There’s nothing quite like World Cup fever in NY! From packed sports bars to watch parties in every borough, the city has become one giant cheering section. No matter which flag you’re waving, it’s amazing to see so many cultures and communities coming together for the beautiful game.

The energy is electric, the rivalries are friendly (mostly 😉), and every match feels like a celebration of the world’s biggest sport. Here’s to great soccer, great company, and unforgettable moments. 🌎❤️⚽ Edyta Jedraszczak Joel Morales Jacqueline Mendez Kennedy Mykoo EXIT Realty United NY Sar Budhram

What a fantastic day at the 38th Annual LIBOR Education Conference & Trade Show – ELEVATE!

I was proud to represent Teachers Federal Credit Union at one of Long Island’s premier real estate industry events. This year’s conference was bigger and more successful than previous years, bringing together REALTORS®, lenders, and industry professionals eager to learn, network, and grow.
One of my favorite parts of the day was connecting with so many real estate professionals and having meaningful conversations about homeownership, financing solutions, and how I can help clients achieve their goals.

True professionals understand the bigger picture. Building relationships, sharing knowledge, and helping referral partners succeed creates more business for everyone involved.

A scarcity mindset keeps people small. A collaborative mindset creates growth, trust, and long-term success.

The people who are too focused on protecting their slice of the pie often miss the chance to help bake a bigger one.

Together we achieve more. Alone, we limit our own potential.

Wow… what an incredible moment.

This is exactly why I volunteer and travel to Albany with ACS CAN — to be part of meaningful change that will leave a lasting impact not only for my children and family, but for cancer patients and families across New York.

The approval of the biomarker bill is a huge step forward, and I am truly honored to say I played a small part in helping make this happen. Moments like this remind me that sharing our stories and showing up truly matters.

So grateful, humbled, and inspired by all the work that the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) does every single day to fight for patients and save lives. 💙

We did it! 🤩 With your help the newly adopted New York State Budget preserved access to testing for enrollees. Thank you to all who helped us see this through to the finish line. 🥳https://www.fightcancer.org/releases/final-nys-budget-preserves-biomarker-testing-access
