Nearly Two Decades
of Getting Buyers Home
 
For nearly 20 years, Teresa McCormick, Claire Hopkins, Steve Mihas, and Jon Copeland have worked side by side to help Nevada families achieve the dream of homeownership.

Teresa brings unmatched market knowledge as a top 1% producer among more than 14,000 Las Vegas agents. Claire guides buyers through every step of the purchase process with patience and precision. Steve ensures every transaction runs seamlessly behind the scenes as Director of Operations. And Jon, with over 40 years in mortgage lending, navigates the financing landscape so every client arrives at the closing table fully prepared — and with every dollar of assistance they deserve.

Together, this team doesn't just find you a home. They find you the right home, at the right price, with the right financing — and they've been doing it together for almost 20 years.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
 
Do I have to be a first-time homebuyer to qualify?
No — most Nevada down-payment assistance programs, including the Workers Advantage Program and Home Is Possible, do not require you to be a first-time homebuyer. As long as you meet the income, residency, and property requirements, you may qualify even if you have owned a home before.
How much assistance can I receive?
The amount varies by program. Some programs offer a fixed dollar amount, while others provide a percentage of your loan amount — meaning the assistance you receive could be higher or lower depending on your purchase price. During your free 20-minute consultation, our lending partner will calculate the exact amount available to you across every program you qualify for.
What Nevada down-payment assistance programs are available?
There are several programs available to Nevada homebuyers, including the Workers Advantage Program, Home Is Possible, Chenoa Fund, and Essex, among others. Each program has its own eligibility requirements, income limits, and benefits. Our team will help you identify which program — or combination of programs — is the best fit for your situation.
Will applying for assistance affect my credit score?
Signing up for a consultation does not affect your credit score in any way. A credit check is only performed when you formally apply for a mortgage loan — which happens later in the process, and only with your knowledge and consent.
How long does the process take from consultation to closing?
The timeline varies depending on the program and your personal circumstances, but many buyers close within 30 to 60 days of beginning the process. Your 20-minute consultation will give you a clear picture of the steps involved and a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Can I use the funds for closing costs, or only for a down payment?
In most cases, the assistance funds are flexible and can be applied toward your down payment, closing costs, or both. Some programs even allow you to use the funds to buy down your interest rate, which can lower your monthly payment for the life of the loan.
What happens after I sign up for the consultation?
After you submit your information, a member of our team will reach out to you directly — typically within one business day — to schedule your free 20-minute phone call. From there, our lending partner will review your eligibility, walk you through your options, and outline your next steps toward homeownership.
Is the consultation really free? Is there any obligation?
Yes — completely free and with absolutely no obligation. There is no cost to speak with our team, no pressure to move forward, and no commitment required. Our only goal is to make sure you have the information you need to make the best decision for your family.
