Behind every Homes for Heroes transaction is a person who trusted us with one of the biggest financial decisions of their life. And behind every one of these testimonials is a Hero who walked away not only with a home, but with a little more confidence, a little more financial breathing room, and a team of people who genuinely cared about getting them there.
That impact comes through so clearly in the Hero Gold:
Dominique, Law Enforcement, Illinois, said the guidance from Mortgage Specialist Tommy Storino made the entire homebuying process simple and easy to understand, giving her the confidence she needed as a first-time homebuyer. And the savings? Thousands of dollars.
Lorraine, Healthcare, Florida, shared how Real Estate Specialist Kelly Jamruk, Realtor went above and beyond, providing knowledgeable, pressure-free guidance and helping her get the things she really needed for her new home.
Hunter, Teacher, Wisconsin, didn’t even know about Homes for Heroes until Real Estate Specialist Kristen Tomczak / Woods & Water Realty, Inc. introduced the program. The $1,150 in Hero Rewards helped Hunter and her fiancé restore the hardwood floors in their new home, turning savings into something tangible they could enjoy in the place they now call home.
Lorenzo, Army, Virginia, spoke about the trust he placed in Real Estate Specialists Shawn Hazelwood and Keren Hazelwood. He appreciated their patience, knowledge and willingness to guide him through every step. But perhaps most importantly, he shared what the program meant beyond the transaction: getting money back on a home purchase helped his family and reminded him that people truly care about those who serve.
And Lani, Healthcare, Louisiana, has now purchased two homes through the program. She shared how grateful she was for Mortgage Specialist Bridgett Webb Menard and her team, who kept her informed every step of the way and helped make the process better both times.
Five Heroes. Five stories. Five golden journeys. ❤️
