Nancy Robinson has been an amazing part of our community for many years and has been working with SWE companies since 2012. Nancy had a vision to provide housing for low-income individuals. She began purchasing homes from us in 2012 and has been renovating them to provide efficiency housing. She caters to the senior and homeless community with partnerships through Ben Taub Hospital and Lyndon B. Johnson Hospitals. She even goes as far as sponsoring individuals for 6 months while they get on their feet. SWE has made it easy for her to acquire real estate and provide the financing to continue building out her vision. She has purchased 6 properties from us and we hope to continue serving her mission for many years.
