First Time Homebuyers and HEROES 

Katie and Mike bought their first home using the Homes for Heroes program,  below is Katie's testimonial

Ruth was the best realtor we could have asked for. We had talked to other realtors before but she had the drive and determination to get things done. Ruth really cares about her clients and it is shown through her work. She is always available no matter what time it is and goes above and beyond for her clients. She works fast to schedule appointments for showings and does everything around the client's schedule. For first time homebuyers she is always willing to give advice and answer any questions you may have about the process. With Ruth it is personal and she treats you like family so you know she has your best interests in mind. We will never forget all the hard work she did to make our experience easy and as painless as possible. We will forever be grateful and look forward to working with her in the future.

“My home search and buying experience with "Home for Heroes" was nothing less than AWWWESOME!!!!!! My realtor Ruth McMasters, from the very beginning, started with an initial professional, informative and encouraging phone conversation. There are so many pros and cons with traditional home buying and various programs in this market that having an expert with as many real estate experiences as Ruth is a blessing.  Meeting Ruth was certainly a game changer for me.  As a program participant, I received great savings. My wish would be that other "Heroes" take advantage of the "Homes for Heroes" program!”  –Mary Phillips

This program proved to me that it truly does cares about its Heroes.  Back this summer, I lost a fellow officer and friend in the line of duty.  He was killed in traffic accident while responding to assist another officer.  Mrs. McMasters knew that this officer was a friend of mine, so the Homes for Heroes Program made a donation in the name of that officer. 

Another awesome benefit with this program is that part of your realtor’s commission is used to assist you in your closing cost.  Any extra money that is left over from that, it is then donated to the charity of your choice.  A short time after our closing, we had a family member pass due to cancer.  The left over money from our closing costs was donated to the American Cancer Society in the name of our deceased family member.  This deceased family member just a happened to be a great teacher too.

Finally, I would highly recommend this program to any of our Heroes.  Believe me when I say that this is a great program and that I will most definitely use this program in the future for selling or buying a home.  “Service DOES Deserve its Rewards” – Mark Grant and family

Homes for Heroes is an amazing program. I couldn’t have asked for more help during the process of buying a home.  In my line of work everyone is always trying to find an affordable edge.  Most people talk about the HUD program, which is ok, however Homes for Heroes opens you up to more than twice the number of homes.  Anything you find for sale is a Homes for Heroes home and could quickly be yours. Anyone using Homes for Heroes in the Winston Salem, NC area and working with Ruth McMasters is lucky.  When she says that she works to make your home the best, she means it. Ruth was always available for questions and concerns, as well as reassuring you when you don’t know how you are going to make it (for those first time home buyers). I cannot thank Ruth and the Homes for Heroes program enough.  They have put us into a dream that became a home.  If you qualify, you really need to be with Homes for Heroes when you start looking."
