BENEFITS FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE
A little more support. A clearer next step.
Explore real estate and mortgage benefits, then send an inquiry to discuss what may apply to your move.
01
Buying a home
Receive a buyer benefit equal to 0.5% of the purchase price when the buyer-side gross commission is 3%. If it is less than 3%, the benefit is one-sixth of the gross buyer-side commission.
Final benefit depends on available commission, transaction structure, lender approval where applicable, and applicable law.
A potential transaction credit or benefit, subject to settlement rules.
02
Selling a home
List your home with a participating Rooted Heroes real estate professional at a 2.5% listing-side commission.
Other commissions, compensation, services, transaction charges and costs may apply.
This is not your complete selling cost. Buyer-broker compensation and property circumstances may affect additional costs.
03
Planning a mortgage
The lender provides the Heroes mortgage credit. There is no mortgage credit for a first-mortgage loan amount under $150,000; up to $500 for $150,000 through $300,000, inclusive; and up to $1,000 above $300,000.
Availability and the amount actually usable are subject to lender approval, loan terms and applicable limits. The usable credit is limited to the amount the lender allows for your specific loan program. Any portion that cannot be used is reduced. The credit cannot be paid to you as cash or applied toward your down payment.
The lender must confirm your eligibility and usable credit for your transaction. Services remain subject to professional licensing, program rules and applicable law. Mortgage benefits require a separate eligibility and fulfillment review. Submitting this real estate inquiry does not assign a mortgage professional.
Rooted Heroes is available where participating real estate and mortgage professionals are appropriately licensed and able to provide the applicable benefit. Benefits, services and availability may vary by location and transaction.
Choosing a category does not confirm eligibility. Rooted Heroes benefits are subject to program terms, professional availability, licensing, transaction details and applicable law. Benefits are not guaranteed and may not be available in every location or transaction. Optional marketing consent is not a condition of accessing Rooted Heroes benefits.

FAQ
A few helpful answers.
Who is Rooted Heroes for?
Rooted Heroes serves qualifying military members and veterans, first responders, healthcare professionals and teachers, including qualifying spouses and surviving spouses. Choosing a category does not confirm eligibility.
Are the benefits guaranteed?
No. Benefits depend on eligibility, participating professional availability, licensing, transaction details and program terms. Read the program disclosures before making a decision.
What happens after I send an inquiry?
Jeff will review your inquiry and follow up by email about your next steps. Sending an inquiry does not automatically assign a real estate or mortgage professional.
How is the mortgage credit confirmed?
The lender confirms eligibility and the amount usable for the specific loan program. Unusable credit is reduced; it cannot be paid as cash or applied to the down payment. See the mortgage benefit and disclosures for the first-mortgage loan tiers and conditions.
