Hero Home Source
If a Realtor was willing to give you up to $5000.00 in rebates for buying and or selling a home, would you be willing to sit down and talk to him?You may be asking yourself what is Hero Home Source and how can it help me? Hero Home Source is a Non-Profit Organization that is in business for one reason and one reason only. The reason is to honor our nation's heroes. The benefits are numerous and all are FREE FROM CHARGE.
Well who is a hero under this program? Heroes are all law enforcement officers (County,city,state and federal) both active and retired. The law enforcement category as well as all of the other hero categories includes all administrative support positions. Fire Fighters, all five branches of the greatest military in the world and our nation's teachers. The teacher category includes all levels of education from Pre-K to Grad School. It includes the bus drivers to the school superintendents and everyone in between. Below is a more detailed description of hero categories.
The primary benefits are Real Estate related. The average rebate is $2500.00 and rebates can reach $5000.00. The hero will receive a rebate from myself (the Realtor), our mortgage partner Sybil Johnston and our title company (if these partners are used). Another benefit is that we write a check to the Hero's favorite charity. That's right out of our own pocket.
I am a retired New York City Police Captain with over twenty years in law enforcement. Once I heard about the Hero Home Source program, I dove in feet first. The next group of heroes that we are in service to are our nation's Law Enforcement. This group is very large indeed. This group includes Police Officers, Deputy Sheriffs, State Police, DEA, FBI, State Highway Patrol, State and Federal Law Enforcement Officers and many many others. Once again it includes ALL civilian and administrative support members. Of course all retired members are included in the program.
The heroes include active and retired (Honorably Discharged) member of our Military. Members of our Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines and Coast Guard are ALL included. This is including civilian members who work at Veterans Administration's locations such as VA Hospitals.
The next group of our heroes are our nation's Fire Fighters. This group includes both city, state and federal Fire Fighters as well as Volunteer Fire Fighters. The people who teach at the various fire and police academies are also included. Once again both active and retired as well as administrative support members are included in the program.
The final but by no means last group of heroes is our nation's teachers. How could we not include our teachers? The Sandy Hook Elementary Massacre put our teachers at the forefront of our thoughts. People have always held teachers at a high regard. Now they are on an elite level. All Teachers from V-PK through college and beyond are included in Hero Home Source. Once again all retired and administrative members are included in this wonderful and FREE program. Hero Home Source
