Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman Makes History with On-Court Appearance with Detroit Shock
MELBOURNE, Fla., July 25 PRNewswire — Holiday Builders, an award-winning homebuilder celebrating 25 years of quality building, today celebrated its most visible ambassador, Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman, and her exit out of professional basketball retirement. WNBA's Detroit Shock team signed Ms. Lieberman to a seven-day contract, taking her out of the ESPN broadcast booth and back on the court as the team looks to her to help make up for the absence of forward Cheryl Ford. The moment Ms. Lieberman took the court in Thursday night's game, playing nine minutes, she broke her own record as the oldest player ever in the WNBA — a record she originally set in 1997 with the Phoenix Mercury at age 39.
Ms. Lieberman was selected to serve as a Holiday Builders ambassador in January of 2008 to help the company and its Employee-Owners promote the benefits and timeliness of homeownership throughout the communities it serves. Since then, Ms. Lieberman has worked with Holiday Builders to educate consumers about why now is the time to reach out and grasp the dream of homeownership.
"Holiday Builders is very excited to see Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman back on the court," said Kim Shelpman, CEO of Holiday Builders. "Nancy's passion for the sport and true skill is remarkable. Her moxie both on and off the court mirrors Holiday Builders' dedication to fostering the development of every community we serve."
Holiday Builders is currently offering a 'Rate Buy Down' program where prospective homebuyers purchase a home at a 30-year fixed interest rate of 5.25 percent. Holiday Builders then "buys down" the rate to 3.25% for the first year and 4.25 percent for the second year. For the third year, and the life of the home loan, the rate will be 5.25 percent (APR 5.37%) — never to go up.
Through this program, new homebuyers' payments are greatly reduced during the first two years, making a home more affordable, giving them time to budget for year three and beyond — after they have begun to enjoy the tax benefits of homeownership.
Holiday Builders has built more than 30,000 single-family homes throughout Florida, Texas and Alabama, with more than 50 proven floor plans and approximately 180 elevations.
