Homes for Heroes

Hero Rewards — Real Savings on Real Estate

The Homes for Heroes program connects eligible heroes with affiliate real estate agents and mortgage lenders — like us — who give back savings at closing. As an affiliate lender, Geneva Financial handles the mortgage side of your transaction.

Heroes who use the full Homes for Heroes network save an average of $3,000 on their transaction — real money back for moving expenses, home improvements, or paying down debt.

Every transaction also supports the Homes for Heroes Foundation — a nonprofit helping heroes facing housing crises, disaster recovery, and emergency financial hardship.

What Heroes Can Save On

  • Home purchases — buy with a Hero Rewards specialist
  • Home sales — save on the full transaction
  • Refinances — reduce costs when refinancing
  • HELOC & home equity — access equity as a hero borrower

The Circle of Giving

When you work with a Homes for Heroes affiliate, you're also helping other heroes in need. The Foundation funds grants for housing, disaster relief, and health-related hardship for heroes across the country.

Real Savings. Real Heroes.

Average $3,000 Saved at Closing

Heroes who use both a Homes for Heroes real estate specialist and mortgage lender save an average of $3,000 on their transaction. We handle the lending side — making sure your hero status works for you from start to close.
