The Nielsens

“ Even USAA could not come close to the savings we received from Homes for Heroes. We Shopped and compared. No Extra forms to fill out and no extra paperwork required. I could not have been more pleased.” – Tony and Carissa Nielsen, United States army veterans.

"As a nurse and a teacher, I do my job many times, not for the money I make, but because I care about the people I serve. In turn, I found a realtor and Homes for Heroes with the same kind of caring attitude for others. Homes for Heros is a wonderful way to give to those who spend their lives helping others. I could not have bought the home of my dreams without their support and the assistance of affiliate Susan Mireles. Kudos on a great duo!"
Best Regards,

"During the sale of our home in Des Moines we became aware of the Homes for Heroes program. We decided to submit our contact information online to be connected with a Homes for Heroes realtor for the purchase of a home in the Corridor area. We were contacted within a few short hours by Maria White, with Exit Hawk Realty. Maria was flexible, honest, fun and easy to work with. And we can't forget that the Homes for Heroes program provided us with over $2,000 back in our pocket. That doesn't happen too often when you purchase a home with just any realtor."

"Homes for Heroes is an amazing program. I couldn’t have asked for more help during the process of buying a home. In my line of work everyone is always trying to find an affordable edge. Most people talk about the HUD program, which is ok, however Homes for Heroes opens you up to more than twice the number of homes. Anything you find for sale is a Homes for Heroes home and could quickly be yours. Anyone using Homes for Heroes in the Winston Salem, NC area and working with Ruth McMasters is lucky. When she says that she works to make your home the best, she means it. Ruth was always available for questions and concerns, as well as reassuring you when you don’t know how you are going to make it (for those first time home buyers). I cannot thank Ruth and the Homes for Heroes program enough. They have put us into a dream that became a home. If you qualify, you really need to be with Homes for Heroes when you start looking." Dave Mundy - Belews Creek, NC

The Woods

“We were thrilled to learn we could buy our home and save nearly $3,000 because of Homes for Heroes. Doug Martin of The Marc Austin Highfill team at Exit First Realty worked hard to make it happen. We will definitely tell our friends about the program. Thanks Homes for Heroes for helping us make our dream of owning a home." – David and Jennifer Woods, Richmond, Va.

The Grant Family

This program proved to me that it truly does cares about its Heroes. Back this summer, I lost a fellow officer and friend in the line of duty. He was killed in traffic accident while responding to assist another officer. Mrs. McMaster knew that this officer was a friend of mine, so the Homes for Heroes Program made a donation in the name of that officer.

Another awesome benefit with this program is that part of your realtor’s commission is used to assist you in your closing cost. Any extra money that is left over from that, it is then donated to the charity of your choice. A short time after our closing, we had a family member pass due to cancer. The left over money from our closing costs was donated to the American Cancer Society in the name of our deceased family member. This deceased family member just a happened to be a great teacher too.

Finally, I would highly recommend this program to any of our Heroes. Believe me when I say that this is a great program and that I will most definitely use this program in the future for selling or buying a home. “Service DOES Deserve its Rewards” – Mark Grant and family

“My home search and buying experience with "Home for Heroes" was nothing less than AWWWESOME!!!!!! My realtor Ruth McMasters from the very beginning great starting with the initial professional, informative and encouraging phone conversation.There are so many pros and cons with traditional home buying and various programs in this market that, an expert with many real estate experiences as Ruth is a blessing. Meeting Ruth was certainly a game changer for me. As a program participant I recieved great savings. My wish would be that other "Heroes" take advantage of the "Homes for Heroes" program!” –Mary Phillips

THE BLACKWELLS

“Homes for Heroes counseled us through the very frustrating process of buying a home during a period when most of the inventory for sale is short-sales and foreclosed properties. In the end, we found our dream home. Especially now with all the economic uncertainty, we need to save as much money as we can. That is why I would encourage my fellow Police officers and Military brethren to check out the extraordinary service and savings at Homes for Heroes.” Police Sgt. Steven Blackwell and Police Officer Katie Blackwell, Active

THE WILHELMS

“Homes for Heroes made buying our first home such a great adventure. The entire Homes for Heroes team was wonderful to work with, especially our realtor, he was so much help and never pushy or over-bearing like some realtors can be. His honesty was our most valuable asset and we knew that when he told us about Homes for Heroes, we could trust him. He didn’t steer us wrong, and like he told us: no red tape, no hidden agenda or fees, no restrictions what so ever! He was always just a phone call away and even went out of his way to make sure everything was running smoothly. Buying your first home (or any home for that matter) is a huge step and investment. We knew that with Homes for Heroes, we were getting the most out of the experience. Homes for Heroes not only saved us money, but helped us feel like our service to our community is appreciated. We’ve already been telling everyone about Homes for Heroes and will continue to do so. Much thanks to Homes for Heroes!”

THE SCOTT FAMILY

“Just wanted to take a moment to thank the Homes for Heroes team!! Our Realtor helped us locate our home and successfully negotiated most of our closing costs for us. Because of HFH we only had to pay half price loan origination! On top of that, many of our other fees were reduced as well, including our inspection and closing costs. Due to the fact that we were already under contract when we joined Homes for Heroes we were not able to take advantage of the Realtor rebate, however,Homes for Heroes still donated 25% of their gross commission to a charity or our choice, our churches Family Worship Center Missions Fund! Homes for Heroes is an amazing program and will help others just like us. Thanks for making the home buying process cheaper!”
