Yolanda Johnson and Family

SPRING HILL — Tina Gilbert and her family celebrated their first holiday in their new home, a home built by an all-woman team of Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County volunteers.

The home, at 630 Alex Drive in Spring Hill, was dedicated Sunday.

The first Women Build project included more than 60 local women who took part in raising the $60,000 that paid for the “bricks and sticks” and the subsequent labor effort to build the home.

“I am so looking forward to having a place to invite friends and family over to enjoy special holidays,” Gilbert said with emotion in her voice. “I haven’t had that opportunity before and this is a true blessing to see so many women helping me to realize this dream.”

There were two other dedications Sunday as well. A home at 656 Alex Drive in Spring Hill was sponsored and built by Harpeth Hill Church of Christ and Spring Meadows Church of Christ. Also, a home rehabbed with internal Habitat funding was dedicated at 610 McElmore Ave. in Spring Hill.

Groups partner to build another house

Two days earlier, another home on Alex Drive was dedicated and ready for new resident Yolanda Johnson to move in.

For the fifth time in five years, The Jones Co. and Crye-Leike Realtors partnered to build a Habitat for Humanity home.

Employees and volunteers from the two companies recently completed the home at 654 Alex Drive in Spring Hill.

The new homeowner has three sons and has lived in Williamson County most of her life. Johnson works in the health-care industry as an insurance analyzer and has earned her certification as a nurse assistant. After settling into her new Habitat home just inside Maury County, she plans to complete her bachelor’s degree in nursing. Quin, 8, and Kani’, 4, attend New Hope Academy, and 2-year-old Gavin attends Pembroke Preparatory Preschool.

This home is a result of a longtime partnership between the two companies representing a $70,000 commitment, with more than 100 volunteers.

“We are very grateful for all of the people involved with this build and how they have devoted their time and energy to make this possible for my family,” Johnson said.

Habitat built 105 homes

Since 1992, Williamson County Habitat for Humanity has partnered with 105 lower-income families to provide them with the opportunity to purchase their own home.

Home construction and neighborhood development is funded through tax-deductible financial contributions and in-kind donations from local businesses, churches, civic organizations and individuals.

As promised, I am giving you some more examples of the possible objections/roadblocks you might be facing right now to buying a new home, and then showing you how we have a corresponding program to help with that problem! 

PROBLEM:  Say you REALLY want to BUILD your home – so you think that to do that, you’ll need to wait for a long time while it’s being built. And, with the all the negative press out there, you think…I’ll just wait until things settle down to build because I am not in any hurry anyway…right?  WRONG!  There are so many reasons NOT TO WAIT…including the fact that interest rates are actually beginning to show an uptick. Plus it seems that many markets are showing signs of improvement (including Nashville) which means that if you are waiting for the bottom…it may have been and gone!   

SOLUTION:  The Jones Company’s FAST START TM PROGRAM – If you want to build, but want to move in quickly to take advantage of the tax credit – Give us your deposits, selections, and your signed start order, and we’ll start your home within 30 days, and we’ll guarantee your move in within 120 days! (Just ask us!)

PROBLEM/OBJECTION:  I would really like to have a GREEN, or simply a MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT home to save on my energy bills…but I cannot afford that!  I read somewhere that it can add up to 10% to the cost of the home…?

SOLUTION:  While GREEN Certification and ENERGY STAR Rated features can be costly when you price other builders…JONES builds EVERY HOME with these certifications – meaning that you could see a substantial savings on your energy bills – and you don’t have to pay ONE CENT MORE FOR IT because it comes STANDARD on every Jones home!

Quote heard from a Realtor just the other day:  “With all the great programs Jones offers – if we can’t sell a JONES home – we just can’t sell!” Wow…what a testimonial!

Learn more about how happy our homeowners are…see our channel on YouTube – www.youtube.com/livejonesdotcom and go to “Favorites”…you’ll find our homeowners’ OWN VIDEOS about their Jones home and the great experience of building with us!

OK, so I promised to provide you with more objections and SOLUTIONS to those objections today!  I wasn’t kidding when I said that we really have thought of just about every possible objection one could make if they are in the situation to WANT a home – but don’t think now is the right time (for whatever reason)…

Objection:  I am afraid I won’t be able to sell my current home.

SOLUTION:  The Jones Company’s Secured SaleTM Program.  Jones will help you pay taxes, interest, and insurance on your old home, until it sells – for up to 6 months…for a max of $5,000! (ask for details)

Objection:  I need to rent somewhere while my home is being built – but I can’t afford to pay for rent and a mortgage!

SOLUTION:  The Jones Company’s Secured Sale TRANSITION(tm) Program.  Jones will ease the transition from leasing to closing on your Jones home, by paying your remaining lease – up to $5,000! (ask for details!)

Objection:  When it comes to financing – I don’t even know where to start!  And – I don’t know how I will pay closing costs!

SOLUTION:  JONES’ Preferred Lender & Closing Cost Assistance Programs – Our Preferred Lender makes the financing of your new home easy and in many situations – we will assist with your closing costs! (ask for details)

More objections & SOLUTIONS…tomorrow!  Stay tuned. 

By now, in this market…we’ve heard just about every objection you can imagine…just as most homebuilders, I am certain.  However, we’ve tried to take away every road block, every concern, every objection that could possibly stand in the way of our potential clients and their new Jones home!  We’ve packaged all these great programs into one big one – and called it the “BUY NOW with CONFIDENCE” PlanTM. 

Some of the objections we’ve encountered: 

OBJECTION: My current home needs work before I try to sell it, but I don’t know how to get that done, or how I will ever afford it!

ANSWER:  We’ve developed a program called “Set the Stage” where we will arrange for you to have a Professional Stager and Home Repair Specialist come to your current home, and advise you on ways to get your home sold. We’ve even arranged our repair techs to give you OUR COST pricing!

OBJECTION: I am afraid that the value of the home I buy will decline right after I sign the dotted line!

ANSWER:  The Jones Company’s PURCHASE PRICE GUARANTEE PROGRAM - We’ll actually guarantee, that if after 5 years of home ownership, your home has declined in value from its original sales price – we’ll pay you the difference – up to 10% of your home’s value! WOW.

MORE OBJECTIONS & ANSWERS TOMORROW…Stay Tuned!
