Our HIPster team now has even more swagger, thanks to the addition of Perry Faigin as our new Chief of Administration. This mortgage-lending veteran brings nearly 20 years of experience to NHD, Home Is Possible, and our much-loved homebuyers, lenders and real estate pros.
Are you sitting down? Good, because we’re about to introduce you to a brand spankin’ new and downright amazing program for homebuyers in Nevada. It’s called Home Is Possible Plus (or HIP Plus for short), and it’s designed to give homebuyers more, as you might have guessed from the name. More of what, you ask?
Money. Moolah. Dough. Benjamins. Greenbacks. Clams. Simoleons.
Home Is Possible Plus: The New Power Couple
We have good news! It’s not too late to enter the HIP Gold Games, going on now through September 9. The challenge: it’s now more like a sprint than a long distance battle to make the podium.
We are excited to announce Dwight Pace is our new Homeownership Program Supervisor AKA Head Hipster. Dwight has been part of the Home is Possible (HIP) team for seven months and brings a diverse background including mortgage lending, training, sales and marketing. Dwight is based in our Carson City office and will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Home is Possible programs.
Okay, so we’ve equated the homebuying process to sports a fair amount lately, but who can blame us? With the ongoing excitement of the HIP Gold Games, we proudly present one more sports-themed homebuying article, broken down per quarter, for your reading pleasure.
Q1: The Paperwork
Regardless of what sport an athlete plays, they’ve got to know the playbook. Offense, defense, strategies for success, teamwork and lots of training—it’s all in there. The same is true for the sport of homebuying. Sure, you may not need to be in perfect physical condition to clear the homebuying hurdles in front of you, but you should be well prepared mentally and financially to win.
From coaches and training to teammates who cheer you on every step of the way, teamwork rocks. This holds true for world-class athletes (just ask anyone on the Refugee Olympic Team!) and Nevada homebuyers alike. So in honor of the Rio games, we’re shedding some golden light on how to build your homebuyer dream team and earn the ultimate prize.

In our second installment of the HIP Gold Games blog series, we’re discussing how homeownership helps to develop happier, healthier communities. New to the Games? Check our our first blog, Welcome to the HIP Gold Games.
Education through sport is a worldwide movement, supported by the likes of the International Olympic Committee and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which supports the notion that sports and education go hand-in-hand. So who are we to stand in the way? In honor of the Rio games, we’ve created the HIP Gold Games where Nevadans can learn how to buy a house—through sport.
