Understanding the program
Know your options before you plan your savings.
Homes for Heroes is a national savings program connecting eligible service professionals with participating real estate and mortgage specialists. It is separate from a mortgage approval or a down payment assistance program.
Real estate rewards require program enrollment and representation at closing by a participating specialist. The reward depends on the transaction and services used. Before budgeting any savings, ask Oksana to confirm current participation, eligibility, and the terms for your move.
Three steps
Start with a conversation.
01 · Share your plans
Tell Oksana about your service, where you want to move, and whether you are buying, selling, or both.
02 · Confirm the details
Review eligibility, participation, timing, and any available reward with the appropriate program specialist.
03 · Build your strategy
Set a realistic timeline and work through the home search or listing process with clear next steps.

Common questions
Homes for Heroes, explained.
Do I need to be a first-time buyer?
No. Homes for Heroes eligibility is based on qualifying service or profession, rather than first-time buyer status. Confirm the requirements for your specific situation with the program.
Can former or retired service professionals qualify?
Yes, the program includes eligible former and retired professionals as well as people currently serving. Your particular role should still be confirmed.
Is Homes for Heroes the same as a VA loan?
No. Homes for Heroes is a savings program; a VA-backed loan is a separate financing option. Your lender must determine your loan eligibility and any requirements for combining benefits.
Can a reward cover my down payment?
Do not count on a real estate reward for funds needed at closing. The program describes its real estate reward as paid after closing. Have your lender and program specialist confirm the payment timing and any other benefits.
What if I am buying new construction?
Discuss the builder, property, and representation arrangements with Oksana early. Homes for Heroes notes that new construction and commission arrangements can affect rewards. Confirm the applicable terms for the home you are considering.
Can Oksana help me sell as well as buy?
Yes. Oksana represents both buyers and sellers. If you are selling, she helps you prepare, price, and market your home and weigh offers; if you are buying, she helps you compare homes and neighborhoods through closing. Mention Homes for Heroes so any eligibility can be confirmed for your transaction.
