Homes for Heroes Celebrates 12 Years of Giving Back To Heroes

Minneapolis, MN (Grassroots Newswire) September 11th, 2013 - Homes for Heroes is celebrating its 12th year of bringing savings and rewards to our nation’s heroes including: police officers, fire fighters, military, health care workers, teachers and other first responders. 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 that tragic day. Growing to become now the Nation’s largest hero savings program with over 1,000 Affiliates in 47 states, the program has done just that, giving back well over $3.2 million to our Nation’s heroes.

Ruth Johnson, President and CEO of Homes for Heroes, is one of the five founding members who started Homes for Heroes, Inc. in 2002. “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," said Johnson.

Homes for Heroes is comprised of realtors, lenders, and other real estate-related providers who are willing to offer substantial savings, rewards and discounts to heroes when buying, selling or even refinancing their home. Going national in 2009 the company has quickly grown to become the Nation’s largest hero savings program by focusing on heroes first and foremost to ensure that they are not only represented professionally but get the service, support and thank you they deserve.

Homes for Heroes has served thousands of heroes across the country including Minneapolis Police Sergeant, Tim Hatchner, “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 in their communities. 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.”
