Sandy Patterson Licensed Realtor in MD & VA, Taylor Properties/ Momentum Real Estate

I first heard about the Homes for Heroes Program back in 2014, when my husband and I were stationed in Virginia Beach, VA. As a newer Real Estate Agent at the time, I was looking for a way to set myself apart and make a real difference in the lives of others. I had spent 20 years of my working career in the field of Marketing/Advertising and did not feel, that what I was doing made a real difference in the lives of others. I decided, as I started on this new career path, I wanted to find a way to make a difference, even if it was just in a small way to help others.

My Broker at the time knew I wanted to find a way to give back and connected me with a Real Estate in our office that is an affiliate of The Homes for Heroes Program. After I connected with her and heard about this amazing program, I thought this is what I have
been looking for and my WAY to give back. As a Military Spouse and Witness to the extraordinary Heroics of our local EMS, I am humbled by the sacrifices our Heroes make every day. Our Heroes not only risk their lives serving our country and local communities, but they place the concerns for others before their own. All our Heroes (Military, Firefighters, EMS, Teachers, Healthcare Workers) each make their own individual sacrifices and give back to others to make our communities a better and safer place to live. As I look back after almost nine years as an Affiliate with the Homes for Heroes Program, I feel blessed and honored to be a part of this amazing program. Words cannot describe what it feels like when you give back to those who serve, you really need to experience it for yourself, but if I had to put it into words your heart will sing. Thank you to all our Heroes for your hard work and your daily sacrifices. You truly are amazing and blessed individuals and I admire each one of you for your service. GOD BLESS OUR HEROES~
