Yes, You Can Own a Home in Austin — Here's How

Feel like homeownership just isn't in the cards right now? You're not alone — and we're here to change that conversation.

Join the Manor Hispanic Chamber, Amplify Bank, and local realtor Giselle Merizalde for a free, no-pressure information session designed for our community — whether you're a first-time buyer, a business owner looking to invest, or just curious about what's actually possible in today's Central Austin market.

What you'll walk away with:
The truth about what it really takes to qualify for a home today
Down payment assistance and loan programs you may not know exist
How business owners can use homeownership to build long-term wealth
A chance to ask questions directly to a lender and a realtor who know our community

Giselle Merizalde has helped countless families and entrepreneurs in Central Austin find a path to homeownership — even when they thought it wasn't possible. Amplify Bank will be on hand to break down financing options in plain language, no jargon.

This isn't a sales pitch. It's a real conversation about what's possible for you and your family.
