HomesForHeroes.com provides new information for heroes seeking discounts and rebates when buying or selling a home.
Minneapolis, MN – The Homes For Heroes program has taken bold efforts to expand its nationally recognized program to more heroes across the country. The program provides discounts and rebates to the "Heroes" that live in our communities. "As a group of Realtors, we conceived the idea for Homes For Heroes after the events of 9/11," says Ruth Johnson, President of Homes For Heroes, "as a way to give back to those who risk their lives for us every day."
The Homes For Heroes program has launched a new website that will do a better job explaining the program and its benefits to heroes and the real estate Affiliates that choose to join the program. "When the program began, it was a real grass roots effort but because of all the heroes logging on we
needed to invest in better tools and more staffing to handle the demand,” says Johnson.
Heroes have registered on our website from 46 states. Military heroes make up a large percentage of those applying for help, although the program also acknowledges community heroes such as Police, Fire Fighters, and EMTs.
"The program was created to take care of heroes first, but our real estate affiliates have found the program gives them a unique niche in a very competitive real estate market. Many home buyers have been sitting on the sidelines, but with low interest rates and incentive programs for new homebuyers, many of our heroes are looking to buy their first home.
The Homes For Heroes program recently added new Realtor and Lender affiliates in California, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and New York. "The interest in our program is increasing daily,” says Johnson. "As more heroes log on, we’ll need more affiliates to handle the business." Local Realtors and Lenders who participate in the program agree to give significant rebates and discounts at closing to the hero, which can add up to thousands of dollars in the heroes pocket for everything from down payment and closing costs to home improvements.
"We also organized the Homes For Heroes Foundation as a way to assist heroes with any special needs," adds Johnson, "and we are working to expand our Friends of Heroes program that local retailers can be part of. Giving back to those who do so much for us is not only the right thing to do – it’s good business too." If you would like more information, please call Brad Oosterhuis at 866-443-7637
