MetLife Home Loans' Raleigh Branch Joins Stanton Homes® for Heroes

to Offer New Discount for Military and Veteran homebuyers

Stanton Homes announces that leading home lender MetLife Home Loans has agreed to participate in the "Stanton Homes® for Heroes" program, working to provide even more home building value for people who have served in the U.S. military.

"As a member of the MetLife family, MetLife Home Loans is a name you know and trust," said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes. "Their participation will help ensure that military home buyers are lined up with every possible advantage through our ‘Stanton Homes® for Heroesprogram."

"MetLife Home Loans is committed to providing our customers with the best possible product to suit their individual needs," said Brent Kappler, Raleigh-Builder Branch Manager, MetLife Home Loans. "We have a strong commitment, not only to our individual customers, but to local businesses as well, which is why we're proud to be teaming up with Stanton Homes as a preferred lender."

With the addition of MetLife Home Loans, the nationally-acclaimed "Stanton Homes® for Heroes" incentive program continues to grow stronger. 

"We're pleased to be able to save military families thousands of dollars off the cost of their new home," said Williams. "It all adds up - starting with our Stanton Homes discount, around $10,000 for most homes. From there, the cost just keeps going down, from closing cost discounts to a huge variety of exceptional pricing for many of the amenities we build into our homes."

"As an eight-year military veteran in the U.S. Army, I know first-hand the sacrifice our military men and women make to serve and defend this great country of ours," said Kappler. "I'm proud of my military service and I'm proud of the men and women who serve, as well. That's why I'm pleased to be able to offer a significant discount in closing costs to military personnel that build with Stanton Homes and obtain financing through MetLife Home Loans".  

The "Stanton Homes® for Heroes" discount program is available on any new Stanton Homes custom-built home in North Carolina's Research Park Triangle and surrounding regions, for all veterans, retired, and active duty military, including all branches of the Armed Forces, Reserves, and National Guard, who have served honorably for at least one year. Any Stanton Home may be purchased through the program, whether complete, under construction, or custom designed on a Stanton Homes lot or the buyer's. 

"MetLife Home Loans has a variety of products to offer our customers, from specific builder products, construction loans, to 100% VA fixed loans," said Kappler. "You've served your country, now let us be of service to you."

If you or someone you know has ever served with the United States Armed Forces and is considering a move to North Carolina, check out some of these discounts on North Carolina homes and housing services.

Some of the many discounts available for veterans, active service personnel, and retired military include:

• Discounts on real estate commissions and fees.
• Discounts on new homes and new custom homes.
• Incentives around home loans and banking.
• Discounts on apartments and rentals.

Real Estate Discounts - If you've been reassigned anywhere in North Carolina, or if you're a veteran or retired military and moving to North Carolina, check out these different sites that offer military discounts on relocation, rentals, or real estate. 

Military.com - Can search by state using the key words "relocation", "real estate", or "homes" to find various North Carolina or national companies offering incentives.   Free sign up to see full details of discounts.  Check with each company - some promotions are for active duty only, some are for veterans, some include retired military and National Guard or Reserves. 

ArmyTimes.com - A bit tougher to search on this site.  But you can also search the Army Times classified section for homes for rent or for sale.  May not be discounted, but could be some information on NC real estate. 

MilitaryCoupons.com - Not much that I could find for real estate, but they do have a banking and loans category. 

MilitaryNow.com - There's a lot of information here on housing discounts.  Searches are fairly easy, with subcategories like Housing and Relocation, Homes, Moving, and Storage.  

MilitaryAvenue.com - Military Avenue offers discount information sorted by Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, or Coast Guard base.  So find the base that's closest to your destination in NC, and use that to search for local discounts.  MilitaryAvenue.com has a pretty comprehensive list, including apartments and rentals, real estate, and relocation.  There's even a large list of Fayetteville area real estate agents.  It may take a minute or two to find the incentive for each - click through for more information, then click on the "military reward" link. 

Stanton Homes offers a 3% discount on any new home, for active duty and retired military and veterans.  This applies to any home.  Can be combined with other military discounts offered in partnership with the Stanton Homes for Heroes program, including discounts from Sears, Timberlake Cabinetry, and real estate agents.

There are also some special programs available for veterans and disabled soldiers and their families.  Here are a few of the housing programs available in North Carolina: 

Homes for our Troops - Builds specially-adapted homes for severely disabled soldiers and their families.  Homes have been completed in Lumberton, New Bern, Roxboro, and Fayetteville.  A home is under construction in Waxhaw, NC.  Donations of labor and materials are accepted. 

Fisher House - These homes are built on the grounds of a base or VA hospital.  There is no charge for families to stay in a Fisher House while an Armed Services member is given treatment, which can involve travel for specialized services.  There is a home at Womack Army Medical Center, Ft. Bragg, with another in planning stages.  Monetary donations are accepted, and volunteers are welcome. 

Please check with the individual companies offering discounts to find their terms and requirements.  Some offer only to active military, others may exclude National Guard and Reserves. 

Real estate agents - if you offer a discount to military personnel, I'd suggest submitting it to these sites.  They are go-to places for anyone in the military looking for a way to stretch their paycheck a little further.
