US Military and Veterans: One Lucky Winner Will Receive $100,000 Towards a New Home this Holiday Season

US Military service members and Veterans: get ready to deck new halls this holiday season. Realtor.com®¹ and Veterans United² have teamed up for the “New Home for the Holidays Sweepstakes.” The prize? The ultimate gift: $100,000 towards the purchase of a new home³.

Entering is easy and the outcome is potentially life-changing. Take it from retired U.S. Navy Veteran Chief Gunner’s Mate Rico Baker, a winner of this sweepstakes in 2019. “Never when I filled out the form for Veterans United would I have known my life would change in an instant, but I dreamed big and I was blessed with the gift of a lifetime,” he says.

From now until December 18, 2020 at 11:59 a.m. EST, Veterans and active duty service members (that means Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Air Force, National Guard, and Army Reserves) can fill out the entry form below to be entered to win $100,000 towards the purchase of a new home. Once you’ve entered, be sure to share on your personal social media to earn extra entries too.

Since 2017, Veterans United has given away more than $850,000 in sweepstakes prize money to help Veterans, service members, and their families become homeowners. For Retired United States Air Force Veteran Master Sergeant Tony Waddell—a sweepstakes winner in 2017—the money was a chance for he and his family to truly put down roots in their Syracuse, NY, community.

“The prize,” he says, “truly means the world to us. It shows the appreciation that Veterans United and realtor.com® have for those who have served in the military and it gives my family the opportunity to pursue building our forever home in the city we love so much already.”

For other past winners, it has represented the freedom to focus on other financial goals, the ability to settle down in a new community, or even building a dream home from the ground up.

Could you be next? Do you have a friend or family member who is eligible to enter? You’ve done so much for our country—let us thank you.

FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS

First Time Home Buying in Massachusetts

MABA Buyer Agents help first time home buyers reduce the stress and frustration normally associated with buying a home or condo – especially for first time home buyers.

As a first time homebuyer in Massachusetts, you can turn to our non-profit organization to help you understand and navigate the complexities of the entire Massachusetts real estate transaction, from mortgage pre-approval until you are handed the keys to your new home or condominium. Each of our member buyer's brokers and agents works only for their buyer-clients and never for the seller of the home or condo that their buyers want to buy.

MABA Buyer Agents will take the time to learn about you and your real estate goals, help you understand your options, including first time home buyer programs, properties and/or condominium associations, estimate real property values and put together a negotiating strategy to help you increase the odds of getting your offer accepted in our competitive Massachusetts real estate market. After advocating to get your offer accepted, your MABA buyer's agent will be there for you at your home inspection and help you protect your deposit through the inspection, purchase & sale and financing contingency periods.

You can buy your first home or condo with confidence knowing that your MABA buyer agent is committed to saving you time and money and helping you make your best home buying decision.

Selecting the Right Homebuyer's agent

Unlike most other real estate agents, a MABA home buyer's broker never represents both a buyer and seller in the same transaction so you never have to worry whether a MABA agent is really looking out for your best financial interests. A MABA buyer's agent acts as your advocate, real estate educator, advisor and negotiator, always loyal to you and dedicated to helping you find and buy the best home with the best terms at the price and showing you which homes to avoid along the way.

Fewer than one percent of the agents and brokers in Massachusetts meet our high standards.
