A mother and daughter found the perfect home
Holly B. - St. Louis, MO
I am an educator who lived with my daughter in a house I simply couldn’t take care of anymore. When I had to move because the old house was being foreclosed on, Up&Up found me a new home I immediately fell in love with. It’s a really special bungalow-style property built in 1926, with lots of tremendous features, stained-glass windows, a fireplace, and this cute gingerbread house feel to it. I can’t wait to add a gas log in the fireplace and convert the second floor into a loft space.
”It is absolutely the right home for my daughter and me.”
Up&Up has taken such great care of me—the process was very clear, the online interface was easy to use, and the handyman comes over when I need something fixed. I’ve recommended the company and the process to others because it’s perfect for people in a position like mine. Now, I have this fancy house because of Up&Up, and it is absolutely the right home for my daughter and me. We couldn’t have done it without you!
This couple didn’t have to compromise when working towards homeownership
Alana G. - St. Louis, MO
Before I found Up&Up, I remember thinking "I need someone to buy a home for me to rent." I knew what I really wanted: a home in friendly Tower Grove, ideally near the park that I could make my own. With Up&Up I was able to pick my dream home - a four bedroom place with a backyard where I'm building a fence of bamboo and a fireplace.
”I'm able to stay flexible in case anything changes, but work toward my goal of home ownership - and I didn't have to compromise!”
I'm able to stay flexible in case anything changes, but work toward my goal of home ownership - and I didn't have to compromise! My family and I are very happy here, and have had a terrific experience as renters, and, honestly, we feel like more than that. This place is our own little nest, our home. Thank you Up&Up!
How a flexible and rewarding rental is helping a St.Louis family plan ahead
Niyoyakira R. - St. Louis, MO
Thank you Up&Up! We love our new house — it is really beautiful. We have been wanting to buy a home, but recently had a baby, our little love Victoire, and so that has been our focus. The chance to save and put money toward buying a house even while we're renting means so much to us. I have already been eyeing an amazing home on Shepherd Street and really want to get set to buy it with Up&Up in 2 years.
”It allows our house to grow as our family does, without costing us extra along the way.”
Our current house is amazing, and if I only wanted to have one child, I would stay here for years and buy it. My husband and I want more children though, so Up&Up's flexibility is so helpful. It allows our house to grow as our family does, without costing us extra along the way. I am from Tanzania, and my husband is from the Congo. Up&Up has really helped us find a home here in St. Louis, making sure we are comfortable, cared for and prepared for the next chapters in our family's life.
