A team of people help make the process smooth and successful.
Founder & President
Daniel Tarasko has been in the housing industry for the last 25 years. As the real estate market developed, he saw that it became increasingly difficult for both families and individuals who had gone through tough financial circumstances to enter the real estate market and experience home ownership. For this reason, Daniel and his wife, Rachel, founded Hand Up Inc. which enables individuals and first time home buyers to fulfill their dream of owning a home of their own. Hand Up's mission is to assist families in moving from challenging financial circumstances to independent home ownership.

Among the local agents is Daniel's daughter, Autumn. The success of this company was a driving factor in getting her real estate license and her hope is to help make the purchasing process easier to understand. Autumn is part of the Compass Real Estate Advisors, a local real estate team, and runs the rent to own division.
Mortgage Broker
Each tenant/buyer works with a mortgage broker to help stabilize their finances and credit. Daniel believes that when the tenant/buyer chooses to regularly look at their finances and plan ahead the program is most successful.
