NFL Veteran Jonathan Vilma Secures Dream Home and Generational Wealth Through Compass SE

Hi, my name is Jonathan Vilma and 20 years ago I was looking for a place to live. Just got into the NFL and Ben Moss was the one that helped me find my first home. Little did I know that he helped me find my dream home as well 20 years later. So in the period between the actual purchase of my first home and dream home, Ben and I had a phenomenal relationship. He helped with my mother's home. I referred friends to him as well. And it was because of the personal touch. my dream home was exactly that. It gave me the feeling of peace, comfort, gratitude. And so because of that, been forever grateful to Ben. Yeah. Looking back when I was a kid. I never thought about living in a prestigious mansion or living on the water in Miami. I was born and raised in Miami, but it was always, you regular suburban homes. I live in Coconut Grove right now and live in a nicer part, an afluent neighborhood. Always had been, I can't even say a dream, just more of a dream was making sure that my parents were okay, my sister was okay. So it's more like a feeling of satisfaction. Before I bought my dream home from Compass, I was 20 years old, single, no kids. So it was a different lifestyle. And then I had my daughter at 28 years old. And I wanted to make sure that I had a place for her when she gets older that she would be excited about, she would want to stay in. And so my dream home was really focused around her And so Ben completely understood where I was coming from. He is the man. And we quickly found a place. He knew exactly what I wanted. Yeah. What makes my house a home is, that different areas in my home give me a certain feeling. and I want that feeling of comfort. I want that feeling of security. I want that feeling of accomplishment. So when I go into my study area, that's a feeling of accomplishment. I have some of my awards there. I have my study place. But it reminds me of all the hard work it took to get to this home and to have this place. So my favorite room in the home. Is my family room. Again, Ben knows me, so he knew when I saw the family room and I saw the open area, how much I would love it. And I love it because it brings me a lot of peace. It's a gathering place. I'm big on family, big on my immediate family, extended family. So I absolutely love when I can host my cousins, my mom, my dad, my aunts and uncles, my daughter, of course, and we can just have a great time. it just reminds me why it was all worth it. Building generational wealth, what it means to me is having passive income coming in for not only myself, but enough for me to park. It, save it, and then allow my daughter to do whatever it is that she wants to do. Generational wealth is synonymous with passive income. the two go hand in hand. And so I'm always looking at those opportunities and thinking about her and then what she can do when she's my age but I'll be happy, more than happy to pass that down to my daughter. You know, I would recommend Ben and Compass SE because they never forget about the little things. Ben has been genuine from day one. We were able to connect just from, forget the business level, on a personal level, we connected. And because of that, you, you build that trust. Now that I have trust with Ben, I've had it for 20 years now, He's a great human, he's a great realtor. And it was just amazing as Ben knew which properties to show me because it wasn't about, okay, making the big buck, it was about what can I find Jonathan that's personal for him that I know he's going to like. And he would always mention that it wasn't about the price, it was about what fits me. And that's why I would recommend Ben and Compass SE to anybody.
