In remembrance of 9/11, I want to spotlight an initiative that stands with those who stand for us.
Home for Heroes offers substantial closing cost savings for veterans, front-line workers, teachers, and others. The program connects buyers and sellers with agents, loan specialists, and other home service providers who offer special rebates for our community heroes.
Here’s how it works:
• If you work with a Homes for Heroes agent to buy a home, you’ll get a check for 0.7% of the purchase price after closing. (For a $450,000 home, that’s $3,150).
• Selling your home with a Homes for Heroes real estate agent will earn you a 25% discount on the agent’s gross commission at closing.
• If you use a Homes for Heroes provider’s mortgage, home inspection, or title services, you can receive rebates that range between $50 (home inspection) and $500 (lender fees) on average.
Buyers and sellers also receive extra support and step-by-step guidance through the home buying or selling process.
As we honor the spirit of unity and bravery today, help me spread the word about this great resource. Tag a friend or loved one who may be eligible — and reach out with questions!
