Teachers and educators are the everyday heroes who work countless hours in our local communities to teach and care for our children. With the Heroes First Team, teachers get access to specialized home loans that minimize costs when buying or refinancing a home.
The best way we know to show our appreciation for our hometown heroes is by educating teachers on how to achieve the dream of owning a home.
Transparency is also of the utmost importance for the Heroes First Team. That means we will always be honest, even if our lending options aren’t the best choice.
A few tips to help get you started:
Connect with a loan officer as soon as you decide to purchase or refinance a home. This will be someone to rely on for direction and solid advice.
Go over your finances (both individually and with your loan officer). Doing so gives the opportunity to see what you can afford, and then where your comfort level of spending is.
"Very responsive. Exactly like a veteran should be!"

"How “great” can taking a massive loan and signing piles of papers be? CJ was prompt, accurate in his information, well-versed in his explanations, and attentive throughout the process. I would never engage in this process if not forced to - but if forced to again I’d absolutely love to work with CJ again!"

"Garrett was amazing! He always gave me the best advice and could explain why it was the best options as pros/cons of other options. He was available anytime I needed him and was always super eager to help any way he could, even if it was explaining something to me again for the 5th time. Stuck by me every step of theway and worked great with my Realtor. Definitely happy with him and will be recommending him to everyone!"
