Goldwasser Real Estate from Austin, Texas has joined forces with the Texas State Firemans and Fire Marshal's Association to develop a home buying and selling program for firefighters. Goldwasser real estate will give 20 percent of their typical 3 percent home sale commission to each firefighter who uses them to buy or sell a home. The Texas Wildfire Relief Fund will then be given 5 percent and the other 15 percent will be given to the firefighter.
This has started a trend with a few other organizations contributing such as Proficio Mortgage Venture of Dallas and Capital Title Company of Austin. Proficio's State Heroes program discounts closing cost on purchase and refis for firefighters nationwide and Capital Title will donate $500 to the Wildfire Relief Fund for every closing.
Eventually this service is hoped to also reach police officers, veterans and corrections officers.
