We Save Nurses Money on a Home
$6,000 Average Savings for Nurses
The Homes for Heroes home buying program for nurses gives back to nurses for their hard work and committed service to others. When you work with our local specialists, whether you’re a nurse first time home buyer or not, we will work to maximize the dollars you save when you buy and/or sell a home. Homes for Heroes local real estate and mortgage specialists offer the most savings; but they also leverage home loans for nurses, down payment assistance for nurses, and government programs that offer grants for nurses buying a home.
It is our way to say thank you for your service.

Homes for Heroes Offers Unique Savings and Other Opportunities
What makes Homes for Heroes unique is our local real estate specialists who give back a portion of their commission equal to 0.7% of the home purchase price to you.
After you close, Homes for Heroes sends you a check so you can purchase new furniture, appliances, do some renovations, or take a much needed vacation after moving!
Nobody else offers you this kind of real estate savings. We have over 3,200 real estate agents and mortgage lenders in 50 states who are committed to doing this for nurses like you.

Down Payment Assistance for Nurses (Federal, State, Local Programs)
In addition to the savings offered by Homes for Heroes, you may also qualify for other nurse home buying programs offered by our federal, or your state/local government. There is down payment assistance for nurses, first time home buyer grants for nurses, and other grants for nurses buying a home. They are a wonderful benefit if you qualify, but they’re only available to those who meet a specific set of qualification criteria. Our local specialists can assist you with these opportunities to determine if you qualify.
IF YOU DO QUALIFY for a government-backed nurses home buying program, down payment assistance or grant program, AND you work with your local Homes for Heroes specialists to close on a home, you get the government program savings (some local, state or federal programs may have restrictions) PLUS the savings that Homes for Heroes provides.
Zero Down and Lower Down Payment Home Loans for Nurses
- FHA Loan for Nurses – FHA loans offer a lower down payment option, as low as 3.5%. This government-backed loan guarantee from the Federal Housing Administration can be a good option, especially for a nurse first time home buyer.
- VA Loan for Nurses – Even though you’re looking for down payment assistance for nurses, if you served (or are serving) in the U.S. Armed Forces, you may qualify for the VA loan. The VA loan features no down payment! Not to mention many other benefits. Take advantage of this loan if you can.
- USDA Loan for Nurses – Like the VA loan, the USDA loan offers no down payment. It is for nurses who are interested in purchasing a home in rural areas. If you’re planning to hunt for a house outside the city, this may be worth looking into.

You Give Us the Ability to Help Other Nurses in Need
When you buy or sell a home using our local real estate specialists, Homes for Heroes donates a portion of its earnings to the Homes for Heroes Foundation.
The Homes for Heroes Foundation then awards hero grants to nonprofit organizations who assist nurses and other heroes in need. These hero grants are possible because you and many other nurses and healthcare professionals choose to use our local specialists to buy and sell a home; adding even more good feelings to closing on your home!

My purchase was not huge, but I was treated as if it were a multimillion dollar deal.

I did not know about this program until my agent told me about it. I think it is a wonderful program and it saved me over $5300! Being a single mother with my daughter in college, this was extremely helpful! I am very grateful for the program, my realtor, and my lender.

The lender and the realtor that we used were outstanding. They both kept us informed of everything that was happening during the process of applying for financing and purchasing our home. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone interested in seeking financing and purchasing a home.
