It is my absolute pleasure to announce that the Barb Bottitta Team of Lehigh Valley Home Experts (Keller Williams Realty) has joined “Homes for Heroes,” a fast-growing national program that connects home-town heroes who serve and protect their communities and our country with a partnership of Realtors, mortgage lenders, title companies, and other affiliated service providers for the sole purpose of offering savings to these local heroes when buying or selling a home.
Essentially, the program closes the gap in the cost of housing for military personnel, police officers, firefighters, teachers, first responders, health care professionals and others who serve our community and nation. Only a select number of agents nationwide are accredited to work with the Homes for Heroes program.
In addition to pairing local heroes with experienced agents and other professionals, the program offers significant savings to real estate consumers because the participating agents donate 25 percent of their commission directly back to the hero at closing.

The Deb and Joe Corcoran Team in the Keller Williams Northampton County office has also proudly joined the program. “Based on a $200,000 home, our heroes on average save $2,000 on their purchase not including the savings they’ll receive with our Friends of Heroes – local businesses that participate and give special rebates or discounts to our hero clients even after they close,” Corcoran said. “The 25 percent discount will apply directly to the HUD statement of the buyer/seller.”
The program has personal meaning for me, as I have a deep desire to help the community. It is a way to give back, not just to our veterans, but to our firefighters, police officers, teachers and others who give so much for us!
