Yesterday was the official release our Hometown Heroes Home Ownership Program (HHHOP) despite our printer not having our brochures ready. I developed this program within my local community to honor those that have given of themselves to make our community safer and better. Open to all military personnel, law enforcement, firefighters, EMT/paramedics, teachers, and nurses, this program helps the "Heroes" get into a new home or refinance an existing home with minimal closing costs. |
With this program, I have brought together several real estate agents/Realtors, a title company, an appraiser, and several other businesses to make sure that the best services are offered. Each company has introduced their own incentive to the program. For example: The real estate agents/Realtors are giving back a minimum of $500 of their own commissions towards closing costs. The title company is reducing their fees $250. The appraisal company is lowering their fees. Even more incentives with the programs... I have several companies that are not real estate related asking to advertise with the brochures their services at a discounted price. Just to give an example of one: Simply Organized 4 U is offering to help pack, move and unpack. The service also includes going through and getting rid of what is not needed in the new home |
There are so many options available with a program like this. For instance... just last night, I mentioned this program at our local Young Republicans meeting. One of the items for discussion was fund-raising. The bells and whistles went off in my head. I mentioned the program, as most of the people that attended are the key people who oversee the "Heroes." After mentioning the program, I concluded that I would donate $150 for each HHHOP loan that closes. Needless to say, they want that money, so they will promote the program to "Heroes." |
