I came from Haiti. And now, I live in Brooklyn.

'Chantal Legagneur, First-time Homebuyer.'

Chantal Legagneur:

Where I used to live is very, very small, walk-in basement, living with my two kids and my mother.

On screen:

She hangs framed photos of her children, and makes tea in her modern kitchen.

Chantal Legagneur:

I always tell them, it’s not going to be forever. And I’m going to save every penny that I have to buy the house.

Sunflowers sway in a breeze as Chantal strolls a sidewalk beside a man in a suit.

The real estate (agent), Mr. Gregory, he told me to go meet Mr. Ennell.

'Ennell Esperance, Home Lending Advisor.'

Ennell Esperance:

My name is Ennell Esperance, and I’m a home lending advisor with Chase Bank.

He sits with Chantal in a meeting room.

Ennell Esperance:

Chantal is one of my favorite clients. And she’s a first-time homebuyer. She’s a single parent raising two kids, taking care of her mother, same thing that my mother did when she migrated from Haiti to Brooklyn.

On screen:

Old photos show Ennell's mother as a young woman, and Ennell as a child with his siblings. In a later photo, Ennell and his sisters wear face coverings as they pose with their mom by a retro car.

Ennell Esperance:

So growing up, I knew the struggles that my mother would go through in terms of trying to provide just a better life for me and my sisters.

On screen:

Ennell reviews an information sheet with Chantal.

Ennell Esperance:

When I sat down with Chantel, we uncovered she was eligible to get a $100,000 grant that New York City offers. She was also eligible for our $5,000 Chase Homebuyer Grant that we were able to combine together to put towards her down payment and closing costs.

On screen:

A photo shows Ennell smiling at a table with Chantal and Mr. Gregory, as a pen tops a closed file of paperwork.

Chantal Legagneur:

I couldn’t believe I was going to get that. But Mr. Ennell did it.

On screen:

Ennell Esperance:

Me being someone who’s really invested in the community, I make it my duty to find out about these programs and make sure that everyone knows and can achieve the dream that they want to.

Ennell smiles as the octagonal Chase logo shines behind him.
