Homes For Heroes ® is the Nation’s Largest Hero Savings Program

Minneapolis, MN (Grassroots Wire) – The Homes for Heroes program is celebrating the fact that the company has given back over $5 million to our nation’s heroes since the company went national in 2009. The program was created to honor those that serve our communities every day and ensure a legacy of remembrance for those that lost their lives due to the tragic events of 9/11.

Abby Waltz, National Director for Homes for Heroes said, “We all remember where we were that day. We all recall how we felt. We decided to do something about it!  We created a forever remembrance, a never ending thank you, to all the Heroes that dropped what they were doing and rushed to help. We all share admiration for the people who serve our community, often selflessly and wanted to recognize and show our appreciation in a meaningful way.”

 

Homes for Heroes is aiming to make the dream of home ownership more affordable for heroes including: police officers, fire fighters, military, health care workers, teachers and other first responders. The program is built on the generosity of its Realtors, lenders, and other real estate-related providers that are willing to offer substantial rebates, rewards and discounts to heroes when they buy, sell or refinance a home. 

 

Police Sergeant Eric Peterson and his family were helped by a local Homes for Heroes affiliate to get into a home that better suited their growing family. Peterson said, “This is not a gimmick. There is no extra paper work or special guidelines or income limits. Homes for Heroes is comprised of full service real estate, mortgage and title company professionals, who have long established reputations. Both the sale and the purchase of my home went off without a hitch. Homes for Heroes saved us nearly $5000.00 at closing. When raising a young family, every penny counts! I would definitely recommend this program to my fellow officers.”
