Q: How did this program get started?
A: Formed in 2002, following the tragedy of September 11, 2001, and bolstered by a shared admiration for the “heroes” employed as firefighters, emergency medical technicians and law enforcement officers, a group of Minnesota real estate-related business owners created an innovative Network called Homes for Heroes. We offer considerable savings to heroes when they buy or sell a home. Later, the program was expanded to serve even more workforce heroes, including but not limited to teachers, health care workers, and other every day heroes who provide quality services to the public every day.
Q: What if I am already working with a Realtor?
A: If you have signed any legal agreements with a Realtor, unfortunately, by law, you cannot work with a Homes for Heroes Realtor. However, assuming you have not committed to mortgage lender, you can still take advantage of the rebates provided by our Homes for Heroes Mortgage Affiliates. To sign up and save, click here.
