Are you a Veteran or active duty military personnel considering using your VA Home Loan? Are you a Military PCS relocation? What about a police officer, firefighter, EMT, or nurse considering buying a house?
As a way of saying “Thank you!” to our nation’s heroes, Stars and Stripes Realty is giving back a closing cost rebate upon the successful close of a first responder’s home purchase.
The rebate will cover the Hero’s following costs:
- Home Inspection Fee (initial inspection)
- Premium Home Warranty (one year)
- VA appraisal fee
This is our way of serving those who have served or currently serve our country and showing our appreciation for the sacrifices and dedication they have shown to keep this land free and safe. First responders are at the heart of our nation, and we strive to help them find their dream homes while they work to protect ours.
The rebate will be credited toward the Hero’s purchase closing costs during escrow.
Who is Eligible?

What Documents Do I Need to Show?

What if the transaction falls through?
Unfortunately, if the house sale does not successfully close, then no rebate is provided. This rebate is paid upon the successful close of a transaction paid toward your closing costs – if the house doesn’t close, then there are no closing costs to be paid.
