Partner Family

This home is being purchased by the Powell family.

Hi, we’re the Powell family, our family consists of little sister Cressi, who loves to sing and dance (an aspiring American Idol). Nicole, who is the family magician, keeping us all entertained with her pranks and tricks. Next we have Jamae, aka “Diva” (need I say more). And lastly there’s me, Latasha aka, “Chauffeur Mom”. I am a health care professional, and fulltime student. We like to spend our free time going to the movies, roller-skating, bowling, and of course shopping! We’d like to thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for your time and dedication that will help our dreams of home ownership come true.
Sincerely,
The Powell Family
