Heroes save big with the Bremer Team

McHENRY — A newly launched program offered by the Bremer Team – Keller Williams Success Realty will save a select set of new home buyers and sellers big money.

Called the Bremer Team Heroes Savings Plan, the program is offered to a sizable list of people who make key differences in their communities, including: health care workers, emergency medical services personnel, police officers, teachers, firefighters and U.S. military personnel — whether active duty, veteran or serving in the reserves.

Through the program, members of the Bremer team will forego 25 percent of their commissions, giving this money back to eligible buyers and sellers as a credit at closing for a savings of up to $2,000.

“Men and women who work in public service are heroes,” said Dawn Bremer, owner and president of the Bremer Team – Keller Williams Success Realty. “This is something we can do to show our appreciation for their dedication.”

Twenty-six-year-old Michael Adams — a buyer’s agent and Realtor on the Bremer Team since 2021 —was part of the inspiration for launching the new plan, Bremer said. A U.S. Marine veteran, Adams served two tours of duty in Iraq.

“I think it’s great to let our heroes know that people appreciate what they do — especially teachers and nurses, who may not always get the appreciation they deserve,” said Adams, a 2016 graduate of Crystal Lake South High School who joined the Marines at 17, and who deployed to Iraq for several months in 2017 and again in 2019.

“It’s our intention that this will make people feel good, appreciated and seen," he continued. "It’s an opportunity for significant savings that lets them know ‘We’re here to support you; we’ve got your back.’”

Bremer — who also is president of the McHenry High School District 156 board as well as of the Kids In Need of McHenry County board — said giving back to the community is part of her entire team’s DNA. She said she hopes many eligible home buyers and sellers will come forward to take the Bremer Team up on its offer, and that such shows of goodwill become more commonplace.

“The world right now is a hard place in many ways,” she said. “But if we can give back at this magnitude and this sort of positivity spreads, think what we can accomplish.”
