Act Right

Three people are in a radio studio with microphones and computers. The walls have The Truth 101.7 FM logos. One person wears headphones and speaks into a mic; a blue bag sits on the table among drinks and equipment.

Behind Acts Homeowners are an incredible team – professionals who care deeply about the families, neighborhoods, and cities they serve. As we celebrate Longest Neighborhood Table 2021, we don’t want you to miss the flavor of the team behind the curtain.

Dee Kemp joined the Acts team in 2019 as Homebuyer Coaching Manager and hasn’t slowed down since. While she’s an amazing manager, dubbed “Captain Awesome” by the team, she’s also a coach herself. Take a listen to her segment on The Truth (link above)…we guarantee you’ll feel her passion!

The Team Surrounding The Homeowner

The Acts team is obsessed with helping renters become homeowners. Acts Homebuyer Coach’s mission is to help families get prepared for homeownership and get loan pre-approval – they know a network of lenders in the market who have great products for Acts families, and they’re always looking out for downpayment assistance and grant opportunities to help make it happen faster.

Acts Realtors are tuned into the market, including City foreclosure properties. They have a vision for what’s possible and advocate for families like they’re family.

Home Rehab Coaches know how important it is for families to get through their projects and get moved in. They’re an advocate and sounding board when it comes to home rehab.

Acts Lending is backed by an incredibly experienced and talented manager and a committee of volunteers who take each pre-approval seriously and are always discussing ways to support more families who are motivated to reclaim distressed properties.
