Homes for Heroes | Bruce Anderson, REALTOR® – RE/MAX Gateway – Chantilly, VA

Posted on April 20, 2012 by homesforheroes

Homes for Heroes is happy to introduce our new Affiliate, Bruce Anderson!

As a 30 year resident of Northern Virginia, RE/MAX “Hall of Fame” recipient with 12 full-time years of RE/MAX Agent experience and a long-list of satisfied clients; Bruce Anderson is ready to help with your home sale or purchase!

As a longtime supporter of the community and other worthwhile causes such as Children’s Miracle Network, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Institute, local fundraisers, and more—Bruce and his family know the importance of sharing and donating to worthy causes.  Bruce says: “We too often take for granted the freedoms we are afforded–which are achieved only through the dedicated servicemen and women in our Armed Forces, local law enforcement and firefighters who literally put their lives in jeopardy each and every day.  We get to live the life we wish to live by THEIR enduring hardships day after day in their line of work.  By supporting the Homes for Heroes program we can deliver back a small token of our appreciation for their efforts while providing the expertise they seek in our own “specialty field” of buying and selling homes.”

When Bruce isn’t wearing his RE/MAX cap he’s either strumming his Acoustic Guitar; on the golf course perfecting his game, or, as an avid chef—preparing a gourmet meal for friends and family.  Visit Bruce and read past-client testimonials on his website:  www.JustVirginiaHomes.com today!

Diane Johnson, Associate Broker – Re/Max Gateway – Chantilly, VA

Posted on April 19, 2012 by homesforheroes

Homes for Heroes would like to give a warm welcome to our new Affiliate, Diane Johnson!

“Becoming an Affiliate for Homes for Heroes was a ‘no brainer’ decision for me. As a military spouse of a retired Army Paratrooper I want to continue to serve the military community and all of our Heroes. There are no words that can express the gratitude for what you do every day and the sacrifices you and your family make every day. I know what it is to move every two years and try to find a place to live while the guys are deployed. I work with the Wounded Warrior Program and the Azalea Charities giving back to our heroes and adding this program  enables me to help our Heroes in ways the other programs out there cannot compete with. We are giving back and our Real Estate partners are giving back. All our Heroes deserve all the rewards we can give them.”

Lynn Nichols, REALTOR® – RE/MAX 1st Choice – McAllen, TX

Posted on April 13, 2012 by homesforheroes

Homes for Heroes is pleased to welcome our new Affiliate, Lynn Nichols!

“My professional career of 24 years has been involved in and around the Real Estate, Finance, and Small Business Community. I grew up in a family that served our countries military, my Father serving in the Korean War and my Uncle serving in World War II. Family values and beliefs of serving our country and community are first and foremost.  My Mother-in-law loved serving her community and did so for over 35 years as an elementary school teacher for the Northside Independent School District who in turn built an elementary school in her honor, The Anna Mae ‘Mas’ Nichols Elementary School in San Antonio Texas. My nephew and niece currently serve as first responders and have such pride for their jobs.

Throughout the years I have helped many people achieve the goal of home ownership or owning a small business, it’s been a fabulous experience being a part of their lives. I have always wanted to find my own way of giving back to our heroes, and Homes For Heroes® allows me that opportunity. I am excited about becoming an affiliate with Homes For Heroes® and bringing this extraordinary program to the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas as the first affiliate Realtor® in the area.

I have always been passionate about helping people achieve their goals in life, as a full service Realtor® I strive to give my buyers and sellers the attention that they deserve in buying or selling their home. I work with customers all over the Rio Grande Valley from Mission, McAllen, Edinburg and Weslaco and it is a unique community with so many Heroes from the Military, Border Patrol, Fireman, Police, Teachers and Medical Professionals as well as other wonderful public service men and woman.

My motto in life is ‘Do what you love, and Love what you do’ and for me that is being a Realtor and Small Business Advocate! I believe home ownership and small business is the ‘American Dream’ and everyday thanks to our Heroes, we are all a little closer to achieving our dreams.”

Homes for Heroes | Laura Reynolds, REALTOR® – ERA Sellers, Buyers and Associates – Las Cruces, NM

Posted on March 29, 2012 by homesforheroes

Homes for Heroes would like to welcome our new Affiliate, Laura Reynolds!

Laura was born and raised into a working class family, in Ft. Worth, Texas, the oldest of three children. Her happy youth was filled with extended family, loving parents, the great outdoors, hard work and discipline;  simple freedoms. As a young adult, Laura attended the University of Texas at Arlington, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business-Accounting. Soon after, she married her wonderful husband, Steve. They have three smart, creative, beautiful daughters.

Before having children, Laura worked for several years as an Assistant Controller for a manufacturing firm. Later, she enjoyed the privilege of staying home for 15 years, to raise and educate her daughters. During this time, Steve went to work for a government contractor, and the Reynolds Family moved to a military facility in the Marshall Islands. In 2003, they relocated to Las Cruces, a beautiful mid-sized city in the Southwest, and one of the nation’s top retirement spots.

In 2005 Laura was the Steinborn GMAC Rising Star, her first year in the real estate business. She has gone on to achieve several accreditations and awards, but more importantly, she has sold more than $30M worth of real estate in the Dona Ana County area, in her short time in the business.

As a thank you to those who serve our communities, and our country, in honorable professions, Laura looks forward to assisting many, many Heroes with their real estate needs, and is very excited about her affiliation with the Homes for Heroes program!
