The Homes for Heroes ribbon-cutting event was held on Thursday, Nov. 6 at the Remax Tiffany Real Estate office in Cypress. It was organized by Homes for Heroes Affiliates Angie Santo (Realtor) and Joe Soto (Lender) in conjunction with the Cypress Chamber of Commerce.
There were about 25 supporters who attended. Joe Soto spoke of the Homes for Heroes program how it works and who benefits and Angie Santo spoke of the reasons for becoming affiliates.
The program is a give back to those that server our country and local communities. It benifits military, fire, police healthcare workers and teachers when they buy, sell or refinance a home. The Hero receives 25% of the realtor’s commission in addition to lender credits when using a Homes for Heroes affiliate to represent them. It is a nationwide program that was created after 9-11 on the east coast and is making its way out to the West Coast. As affiliates we are trying to get the word out to our local community so that Heroes are aware that they can take advantage of this program.
Over the past year we have given back over $25,000 to our Homes for Heroes clients and on a national level $7.6 million since it’s origination.
