The Savings Are Amazing!
I have taken my home and turned it into an AIRBNB and decided to move into my 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom rental unit. I heard about REFS and American Dream Program from a freind and decided to check it out. The end result is I saved close to $17,000 on a TOTAL remodel. New paint, new doors, new lights, new bathrooms, new kitchen cabinets and appliance, new hot water heater, all new electrical outlets....TOTAL REMODEL.. Bids for just redoing the batrooms came in at $6,700 a piece, all I can say you have nothing to loose - contact REFS and you will save time and money, .

My wife and I own 2 - 3 lstory 2 bedroom and 2 bath income properties in the same complex and decided to renovate them once the tenants moved out. Well, it took us 7 months to complete the first one, I will end there on that one. Then we heard about the American Dream and REFS program from a REALTOR® and looked into it, when it came time to renovate our second condo, and to this day we keep saying if we had only know about them sooner.
We not only saved over $13,000 on materials and labor, but REFS came in and did the work around the clock and delivered a quality project with high end materials in a week...that's right 7 days.
What we liked about thier business model is we paid for ALL MATERIALS and their labor directly as work was being done with a much smaller project management fee then using a Genral Contractor. All trades were licensed, insured and bonded, the work was done in an extremely orderly fashion, the work place was kept clean and organized at the end of each shift, I can't say enough positive about the experience. Even when we needed something changed, it was done without any delay.
All I can say to anyone, look me up and I will gladly give you the details, it was truly a savings and for us stress free!
My wife an I are BIG fans of this American Dream way of saving money!
PLEASE get rid of the brown and paint it the color of a bacardi bottle.
Get rid of the plants, weeds and take it down to the dirt and give me something I don't have to water!
Can you make this into a putting green with a BBQ area?
I like this! Saving on my water bill and saved money on the materials and labor as advertised.
Before
Bid of $57,000 to do a major kitchen renovation.
- $18,000 just for new cabinets, without the cost of assembly and installation.
- Alternate bid to just paint the cabinets for $8,500.
After
Using the American Dream and REFS $27,000
- Cabinets painted $4,500
- All new flooring throughout the upstairs Kitchen, Living room, Bathroom and hallway.
- All new sinks throughout bathrooms and new toilet.
Our savings were unbeleivable, allowing us to do many other projects in the house, new doors, and repairs and a downstairs bedroom remodel.
I sit in my kitchen and I think to myself, I never thought I would have something so beautiful.
Savings....$$$$...over $25,000! Thank you American Dream and to REFS, who we used their trades who provided all our renovations at labor rates only and we got the savings on materials too.
I was willing to sell my home for less, until I found out about the American Dream Program and REFS from my REALTOR®.
Thanks to this TEAM, I was able to save money on materials, take advantage of Licensed, Insured and Bonded trades at labor rates only, saving the upcharge on materials, and end up with more money in my pocket on the sale of my property.
Ask American Dream about how their program can work for you if you are listing your home and buying another home, or if you are looking for a home to buy, it is definetly worth your time if saving money is of interest to you.

PS - I also used them on the home I bought after this one sold!
What made us a believer in the American Dream Programs was saving 50% off paint at Sherwin Williams, which put more than $500 back in my wallet. Then my wife and I were looking for a 23 cu. ft. stainless steel upright freezer for our garage. So we sent this to American Dream in an email:
We are looking at purchasing this, any suggestions?
They replied:
Would this interest you?
We said YES!
On this one purchase, we saved $2,191.31 over the lowest priced unit we could find, which was a single door unit. Seeing how this works, I give this as a gift on every Real Estate Transaction I complete.

My wife and I were out for dinner with a friend and in our conversation she told us about American Dream Programs, which saves money with this companies material discounts. And, she also told me as a Veteran I should get a Veteran Renovation Loan where we could buy the materials ourselves which saves the 30% upcharge contractors charge. And, on top of that get the American Dream material discounts. We looked into this, and compared all of the various vendors and their discounts, and after the dust literally settled, we saved conservatively 35% on estmiate costs for doing a remodel for a comprehensive large master bathroom remodel, dealing with a post tension slab too, that can cost upwards of $50,000. We were more then pleased with our $23,000 price tag!
Savings - yes, B I G SAVINGS!
I could not wait!!!
We got a bid to put in "JUST" a Walk-In-Tub for $9,990. We got an entire bathroom for $5,540 - and the same Walk-In-Tub cost us $1,842. Why wouldn't anyone get the Ambassador Program, we even put in new flooring, a complete tile surround, updated vanity and paint.
At 80 I love taking bubble baths again,
and I don't have to worry about calling the fire department to get me out of the tub. Oh yes, and we love you American Dream.

At firsrt we thought, Oh come on, this sounds to good to be true. These were our first thoughts, but they were quickly turned into BIG savings! The very first thing we looked at was countertops and backsplash for our kitchen - savings over $2,300. 2,250sf of flooring, we went from $4.60sf @ $10,350 to $1.69 @ $3,802.50 - savings $6,547.50 THATS CRAZY! And, we are not done, we are now going to be painting the inside and outside of the house and our savings on paint is $3,012.87. Now thats crazy too. We could have only done part of the kitchen remodel not all the floors, plus inside and outside painting, and new bathroom vanities, ceiling fans and all our outlets and switch plates. This is crazy - yes - CRAZY GREAT!!!! Thanks to our REALTOR who gave us the Ambassador Program as a gift, and the American Dream support staff who suggested we get a Renovation Loan to purchase our home. American Dream Programs, we call it a gift from above.
We now have a dog and are new homeowners of a 2,080sf "REAL" fixer-upper, with a BIG back yard! With the help of family and the 2 of us, we are renovating our home, and thanks to our folks, who told us about the American Dream Programs, we are literally saving thousands. I know this sounds impossible, but it is true. When I went into the paint store and selected my paint I was shocked that 1 gallon was $60, and I was ecstatic when I saw my price per gallon ended up at $29.63, especially given we purchased 16 gallons the first time, and another 13 gallons later. This savings alone of $880.73 made us look at every vendor in the program. We had found flooring we thought we wanted @ $4.12sf ($8,569.60), through the program we got a better quality flooring for $1.69sf ($3,515.20), a savings of $5,054.40. Kiitchen cabinets, a savings of $2,000, and there is more. With these savings we took our folks out to a nice dinner for telling us about the American Dream Programs - we are getting our Dream Home - we too want to say, Thanks American Dream!
A Microburst hit our home, off went the roof, our stairway looked like a waterfall that filled the downstairs with over 5 inches of water, all in less than 15 minutes. Our insurance company put us in a hotel, and it took a few weeks to resolve the financial settlement. Then the process of selecting what we wanted to replace the flooring with, what style kitchen cabinets did we want, what type backsplash, what color paint, not to mention redoing drywall and texture throughout the whole house. The Ambassador Program helped us focus, reveiwing products and helped us save money, allowing us to do other things we wanted to do. We were skeptical at first about this program, however our skepticism turned quickly to wanting to share our story. Thank You American Dream.
I am not one for a lot of words. I used the Ambassador Program and saved $$$ money $$$$! And the American Dream support staff assisted me in ways above my expectations. Thank You!!!
Short and sweet and to the point.
I'm not one to jump on any band wagon until I know that something is real. Well, this is real and I have decided not to just use the American Dream Ambassador Program for myself, as a Loan Originator, I am also giving the programs as gifts to my clients when I close a loan. Regardless, if it is for a first time home buyer, someone doing a REFI, or doing a Renovation loan, these programs have made my decision process easy - why not a gift that has value and adds value to their home. I feel as though I am now continuing to help my clients, who become friends, to create their Dream Home, all thanks to American Dream Programs! By the way California, Arizona, Idaho, and Arkansas residents, I am ready to give you the American Dream Program to get you the home of your dreams as your Lender.

I too want to say, THANK YOU AMERICAN DREAM for my new referral source!
