      Homes for Heroes Offers Unique Savings and Other Opportunities

      What makes Homes for Heroes unique is our local real estate specialists who give back a portion of their commission equal to 0.7% of the home purchase price to you.

      After you close, Homes for Heroes sends you a check so you can purchase new furniture, appliances, do some renovations, or take a much needed vacation after moving!

      Nobody else offers you this kind of real estate savings. We have over 3,300 real estate agents and mortgage lenders in 50 states who are committed to doing this for nurses like you.

      Use the slider below to see for yourself. If you work with our local real estate and mortgage specialists to purchase a home, the slider shows an estimate of what you would save after you close.

      Estimate Your Savings

      Learn how much you could save on your home purchase. Adjust the slider to see potential savings when you buy with a Homes for Heroes real estate and mortgage specialist. This is an estimate. Your actual savings may vary.

      Other Potential Savings Offered to Nurses by Homes for Heroes

      • Mortgage specialists reduce their lending fees, and the average amount is $500
      • Title company specialists reduce their title service fees, and the average amount is $150
      • Home inspection specialists reduce their service fees, and the average amount is $50
      • Hero savings through our Friends of Heroes® partners (amounts vary)

      No Red Tape. No Hidden Fees. No Catch. Real Savings.

      Down Payment Assistance for Nurses (Federal, State, Local Programs)

      In addition to the savings offered by Homes for Heroes, you may also qualify for other nurse home buying programs offered by our federal, or your state/local government. There is down payment assistance for nurses, first time home buyer grants for nurses, and other grants for nurses buying a home. They are a wonderful benefit if you qualify, but they’re only available to those who meet a specific set of qualification criteria. Our local specialists can assist you with these opportunities to determine if you qualify.

      IF YOU DO QUALIFY for a government-backed nurses home buying program, down payment assistance or grant program, AND you work with your local Homes for Heroes specialists to close on a home, you get the government program savings (some local, state or federal programs may have restrictions) PLUS the savings that Homes for Heroes provides.

      Zero Down and Lower Down Payment Home Loans for Nurses

      • FHA Loan for Nurses – FHA loans offer a lower down payment option, as low as 3.5%. This government-backed loan guarantee from the Federal Housing Administration can be a good option, especially for a nurse first time home buyer.
      • VA Loan for Nurses – Even though you’re looking for down payment assistance for nurses, if you served (or are serving) in the U.S. Armed Forces, you may qualify for the VA loan. The VA loan features no down payment! Not to mention many other benefits. Take advantage of this loan if you can.
      • USDA Loan for Nurses – Like the VA loan, the USDA loan offers no down payment. It is for nurses who are interested in purchasing a home in rural areas. If you’re planning to hunt for a house outside the city, this may be worth looking into.

      The Homes for Heroes Foundation

      You Give Us the Ability to Help Other Nurses in Need

      When you buy or sell a home using our local real estate specialists, Homes for Heroes donates a portion of its earnings to the Homes for Heroes Foundation.

      The Homes for Heroes Foundation then awards hero grants to nonprofit organizations who assist nurses and other heroes in need. These hero grants are possible because you and many other nurses and healthcare professionals choose to use our local specialists to buy and sell a home; adding even more good feelings to closing on your home!

      I did not know about this program until my agent told me about it. I think it is a wonderful program and it saved me over $5300! Being a single mother with my daughter in college, this was extremely helpful! I am very grateful for the program, my realtor, and my lender.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I’ve already shared my experience with all my coworkers so that they can also take advantage!!

      The lender and the realtor that we used were outstanding. They both kept us informed of everything that was happening during the process of applying for financing and purchasing our home. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone interested in seeking financing and purchasing a home.
