Home, the spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest.

jen nieves' story
During her morning drive to work one day, Jen Nieves heard a commercial on the radio advertising CHP homebuyer education classes. At the time, Jen was a prospective home buyer but had some difficulty finding reliable information about the home buying process. She found out about HomeWorks of Virginia, and began attending homebuyer education classes. On March 15, 2005, Jen closed on her first home. As a home-renovation business owner, Jen constantly worked with home owners. Now, she too owned her own home.
"When you own your home, you become more involved in the community. You are concerned with building relationships and strengthening communities."
-Jen Nieves
