PenFed Realty Announces Real Heroes Program

Washington (PRWEB) April 02, 2014

PenFed Realty announced today that it is beginning an innovative new career program for the military personnel and their spouses; both active and veteran. This program is intended to cover all costs for these men and women to obtain their real estate license and pursue a career as a PenFed Realty real estate professional.

PenFed Realty could pay up to $2,500 towards the cost of becoming a real estate professional. This includes, but is not limited to, the cost of real estate licensing classes, exams, insurance, and membership in applicable real estate associations. The program is designed to remove the financial barriers that many military service personnel and their families are confronted with when pursuing a successful career in real estate.

"PenFed and its affiliates are constantly looking for ways to reward our country's heroes. We think this is the ideal opportunity to empower our transitioning military to find fulfilling careers using the discipline and cooperative skills they've honed in service," said Shashi Vohra, president of PenFed Realty.

PenFed Realty has long supported the military and their families through a variety of programs and fundraising events. The Dream Makers Grant through the PenFed Foundation has offered assistance to members of the military who want to purchase a home and need funds for a down payment. The Real Heroes Program empowers military servicemen and women to help homebuyers and sellers, both non-military and military, through a rewarding career as a real estate professional with Prudential PenFed Realty.
