“Dave and his team were wonderful to work with, they made the Homes for Heroes process super simple! It’s a few extra signatures and those recognized as ‘heroes’ through the program get a check a few weeks after closing. They took time to listen to what we needed from a home and find us our forever home!”
Brianna and Josh H. Worked with Dave Mettler -
“The Homes for Heroes program was seamless and saved us thousands of dollars on our closing costs. Dave helped us throughout the entire process, and it couldn’t have been easier. We will absolutely use the Dave Mettler Team and Homes for Heroes for any future home sales or purchases!”
Mark & Geneva O. Worked with Dave Mettler -
“We had a wonderful experience working with Joey Larson and the Homes for Heroes program! Joey was knowledgeable, supportive, and truly cared about helping us navigate the home buying/selling process. We are so grateful for his guidance and the benefits provided through Homes for Heroes, and we would highly recommend Joey to anyone looking to buy a home!”
Amanda C. Worked with Joey Larson -
“We had a great experience working with Jameson Bull and Homes for Heroes. The process was smooth and easy from start to finish. We highly recommend any fellow service members to get connected with Jameson and Homes for Heroes for any future home purchase or sale needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to sell our home and purchase our current one.”
Rachael & Matthew D. Worked with Jameson Bull -
“Working with Chris Lambert and the Dave Mettler Team was so easy. After I told Chris what I was looking for, he found several (18) homes for me to look at. Once we found exactly what I wanted, the Homes for Heroes program was another blessing. I don’t remember exactly the amount I received, but for a semi-retired teacher, the money certainly helped me furnish my home. If you qualify and live in the Sioux Falls area, Chris and the Dave Mettler Team are definitely the way to go.”
Randy B. Worked with Chris Lambert -
“We had an incredible experience working with Joey Larson to find our dream home! His expert skills and dedication to the Homes for Heroes program saved us thousands of dollars, and he even lent us a moving trailer to make the transition seamless. Joey truly went above and beyond to make the whole process stress-free. If you need a reliable, hard-working agent who gives back, we highly recommend him!”
Kyle & Megan O. Worked with Joey Larson -
“Teresa Olson helped us buy our first home, and we couldn’t feel more blessed! She was kind, professional, and always quick to respond to our questions. On top of working with an amazing team, getting $4,000 back through Homes for Heroes made a massive difference. We are forever grateful!”
Taylor & Callie O. Worked with Teresa Olson -
“I would like to say how much we enjoyed working with Jameson Bull and Homes for Heroes on selling our house and buying our new house. I would highly recommend them for future purchases.”
Dave & Nancy C. Worked with Jameson Bull -
“I was truly impressed and honored to participate as a veteran in the Homes for Heroes when I sold my house! In addition, it was a distinct pleasure to be represented by Dave Mettler as my realtor who participates with Homes for Heroes! He worked diligently to make my selling experience a success. Then to receive a very nice check from Homes for Heroes after the sale of my home was an amazing blessing! I will always be grateful for that experience! Thank you, Dave!”
Bryan C. Worked with Dave Mettler -
“Our experience working with the Dave Mettler Team was amazing! We were on a very tight time frame for moving and everyone involved knocked themselves out to make sure we were able to buy a home (versus rent) when I didn’t think it would be possible. Especially our realtor, Teresa Olson, who went way beyond ‘above and beyond’ to help us find the perfect place. … Our Hero Reward of almost $2000 allowed us to make a few small upgrades to our new home which also made it feel more like it was ‘our’ home. I will absolutely work with this team if we ever find ourselves in a position where we need to relocate again.”
Rob & Kristin F. Worked with Teresa Olson -
“We had a fantastic experience working with Joey Larson, who was incredibly patient as we searched for the right home and ultimately helped us sell our previous house in record time. He was always prompt and attentive, quick to answer any questions we had throughout the entire process. We were able to save over $7,000 thanks to his participation in the Homes for Heroes program!”
