The right home with the right partner

As their family grew, Aaron and Makaila Barclay realized they were quickly outgrowing their space. Knowing they needed a house in a good school district, the couple worked hard to build credit and consolidate debt, but still felt overwhelmed navigating the homebuying process. That was until they met Ronda Howard, Retail Service Officer at Community Bank, who stood by their side every step of the way.

With Ronda’s guidance, the Barclays worked hard to continue building savings and credit, ultimately securing a mortgage prequalification. That’s when the fun of house hunting began, culminating in a spacious new home for the family with good schools all around.
