Savings Program
Minneapolis, MN
(Grassroots Wire) – The Homes for Heroes program is celebrating the fact that
the company has given back over $5 million to our nation’s heroes since the
company went national in 2009. The
program was created to honor those that serve our communities every day and
ensure a legacy of remembrance for those that lost their lives due to the
tragic events of 9/11.

Abby Waltz, National Director for Homes for Heroes said, “We all remember where we were that day. We
all recall how we felt. We decided to do something about it! We created a forever remembrance, a never
ending thank you, to all the Heroes that dropped what they were doing and
rushed to help. We all share
admiration for the people who serve our community, often selflessly and wanted
to recognize and show our appreciation in a meaningful way.”
Homes for Heroes is aiming to make the dream of home
ownership more affordable for heroes including: police officers, fire fighters, military, health care workers, teachers
and other first responders. The program is built on the generosity of its
Realtors, lenders, and other real estate-related providers that are willing to
offer substantial rebates, rewards and discounts to heroes when they buy, sell
or refinance a home.
Police Sergeant Eric Peterson and his family were helped by
a local Homes for Heroes affiliate to get into a home that better suited their
growing family. Peterson said, “This is not a gimmick. There is no extra
paper work or special guidelines or income limits. Homes for Heroes is
comprised of full service real estate, mortgage and title company
professionals, who have long established reputations. Both the sale and the
purchase of my home went off without a hitch. Homes for Heroes saved us nearly
$5000.00 at closing. When raising a young family, every penny counts! I would
definitely recommend this program to my fellow officers.”
