Buying a Home: Look into Homes for Heroes!

We’ve featured content in the past about purchasing homes through the VA loan, housing credits available to veterans, and the value of a home as an investment. Today, we’ll highlight a program available to firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, and military (including veterans) that could land you a check upon closing on your home. Homes for heroes was started in 2009 and has helped over 61,000 Heroes through the giving of $115 million in Hero Rewards. The program has partnered with over 4,500 real estate and mortgage professionals and on average facilitates the saving of $3,000 when a Hero buys or sells a home.

How it works

Homes for Heroes has partnered with a number of organizations to bring you savings as you look to buy, sell, or refinance your home. The process is as simple as this:

1. Click here to sign up for the program and be contacted by a real estate professional or mortgage professional in your area
2. Discuss your options with the person that contacted you
3. Buy, Sell, or Refinance your home
4. Receive a “Heroes Reward” upon closing — typically averaging $3,000

The organization was founded by Ruth Johnson and family in 2002 and became a national brand in 2009. For reviews of the company, take a look here. We hope this helps as you look to purchase, sell, or refinance your next home!
