Pathway to Homeownership for Veteran Community

Hosted by Ashley Vaughn (“Ashley Sells TX”), Marine Corps Veteran & DFW Realtor®
In Partnership With: Netze Homes — Steel-Frame New Construction
Location: Netze Homes Model, Melissa, TXc (3405 Skyridge Ln, Melissa, TX)
Date/Time: October 15th @ 5:00pm - 7:00pm

If you’ve served, you’ve earned powerful homebuying benefits—let’s put them to work. This practical, no-pressure workshop walks you through the entire VA loan journey, from “just getting started” to “keys in hand.” You’ll hear a short presentation from a VA-savvy lender, get title insights that demystify closing, and learn how pairing a VA loan with Netze Homes’ steel-frame new construction can add even more advantages—think modern design, fewer immediate repairs, strong/low-maintenance framing, and comprehensive builder warranties. Stay after to connect with local veteran-owned businesses during our mini business mixer.

Even if you’re 12+ months out, you’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand and what to do next.
