Programs for Teachers and First Responders
How service communities can explore Heroes savings and Colorado resources — carefully, without invented dollar promises.
At a glance
Teachers, first responders, and other service communities often ask how to combine professional savings programs with Colorado homebuying resources. This page explains Nixon for Heroes tone carefully, points to partner language, and lists programs buyers may investigate — without promising dollar amounts.
Nixon for Heroes
Nixon for Heroes offers savings for eligible buyers and sellers among military, veterans, first responders, teachers, healthcare workers, and the teams that support them. Eligible buyers may receive a portion of commission as a credit toward eligible closing costs; eligible sellers may receive a reduced listing commission with full representation. Credit amounts and reductions vary — we do not publish fixed figures online. Mention Heroes when you reach out so Chad can walk through what applies.

Homes for Heroes partner language
The Nixon Team may participate with Homes for Heroes for qualifying clients. When that partner structure applies, savings are generally delivered after closing through the participating agent’s program rules — not as a random online coupon. Ask Chad whether Homes for Heroes, Nixon for Heroes, or both are relevant to your transaction, and how lender rules affect any credit.
CHFA and other resources buyers may investigate
- Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) — statewide homebuyer resources; terms change
- Larimer County homeownership resources — programs buyers may investigate through county and nonprofit partners; confirm current offerings directly
- Neighbor to Neighbor and similar nonprofits — counseling and homebuyer education some buyers use; availability and eligibility vary
Treat every external program as informational until the provider and your lender confirm you qualify.
Stacking benefits — a careful sequence
- Get a lender conversation on the calendar before you shop seriously.
- Tell Chad you want Heroes / service-community savings reviewed for your file.
- Ask which partner structures can apply to your buy or sell.
- Investigate CHFA or local counseling resources if they fit your goals — verify terms.
- Confirm in writing how any credit appears on your Closing Disclosure.
- Do not make large credit purchases mid-transaction without asking your lender.
