We panicked as the lender demanded a lot more money days before closing. And finally we closed. WE WERE LUCKY.

affordable homes: Photos from Goldsboro, NC Open House and Ribbon Cutting - 07/30/08 09:41 AM
Here are some photos from the ribbon cutting and open house we had at our new construction homes in downtown Goldsboro. At the ribbon cutting, we celebrated the sale of our first home in Goldsboro. We had an overflow crowd - it has been a long time since new homes have been built downtown.

affordable homes: Barrington Village - Raleigh, NC - 06/06/08 10:29 AM
