School district expertise: I know which districts perform, which are improving, and what the data shows
Timelines built around the school calendar — close in summer, move when it makes sense
Budget-forward approach: I tell you what a home is actually worth before you make an offer
Communities where teachers live and put down roots — I know them personally
The program
How your Hero Rewards work.
It's simpler than it sounds. No catch, no membership fee, no fine print.
01
Sign up & confirm you qualify
Free signup at Homes for Heroes (I'll send you the link). Takes about two minutes. You confirm which category you serve in.
02
We work together on your home
Buying, selling, or both — we work the way we'd work anyway. The program runs in the background.
03
Close on your home
When the deal closes, Homes for Heroes calculates your rewards based on the final sale price (averages ~$750 per $100K).
04
Get your check
The rewards check is mailed to you directly from Homes for Heroes after closing. Yours to keep — no strings, no obligations.
FAQ
Heroes ask these first
The questions every hero asks before signing up — answered up front.
Five broad categories: military (active duty, veterans, surviving spouses), healthcare workers (nurses, doctors, EMTs, paramedics, allied health), educators (Pre-K through university — teachers, admin, staff), first responders (firefighters, EMS), and law enforcement (officers, deputies, corrections, border patrol). If you're not sure your role qualifies, just ask — I'll check.
On average about $750 per $100,000 of home price, paid as a check directly from Homes for Heroes after closing. On a $400,000 home, that's roughly $3,000 back in your pocket. The exact amount depends on the final sale price and is calculated by Homes for Heroes — I don't set it.
No. Homes for Heroes membership is free. You sign up at their site (I'll send you the direct link), confirm your eligibility, and that's it. There's no membership fee, no subscription, no hidden cost.
Yes. Hero Rewards is paid by Homes for Heroes after closing — it's separate from your loan financing. So you can stack it with a VA loan, FHA, conventional, MSHDA down payment assistance, or any other program you qualify for. Nothing about Hero Rewards changes your loan options.
You get rewards on both transactions. Two closings, two checks. This is actually the strongest case for the program — heroes moving up or relocating often save several thousand dollars when both sides of the move qualify.
