Congratulations to Officer Jon Goebel

The San Diego Association of REALTORS® Ambassadors Foundation is pleased to announce the first San Diego Police Officer to become a homeowner in 2011 through the “Everyday Heroes” program.

Testimonial from Police Officer Jon Goebel:

In an era of economic challenges and uncertainty, purchasing a home for the first time is a daunting prospect. Growing up, I never thought it would be able to afford to purchase a home. As I entered a career in law enforcement, the prospect of purchasing a home became a realization.

I began to research and investigate different programs that were available to first time home buyers. After speaking with other police officers who had recently purchased homes, I was continually directed to the Ambassadors Foundation and their programs specific to Law Enforcement, San Diego Police Department for first time homeowners.

The Ambassador Foundation was a blessing; they were able to put me in touch with two amazing real estate agents, Anna Marzouk and Don Gardnier. Both Don and Anna were focused and attentive to my specific needs and requests. They were completely focused on representing my best interests.

The Ambassadors Foundation and Lita LaGuire were always available to assist me with questions about the home buying process. With their assistance I was able to purchase a beautiful home in San Diego County. It has been a dream come true purchasing a home and would not have been possible without the assistance of The Ambassador Foundation and the San Diego Association of REALTORS®.

The Ambassadors Foundation “Everyday Heroes” program has one goal - to help the San Diego Police Officers become homeowners. By helping to promote and create homeownership for police officers through interest rate buy-downs, the men and women who protect and serve our communities can better afford to live in our city.

Stay tuned for our next upcoming event. SDAR will host the first annual Ambassadors Foundation Everyday Heroes Wine Tasting and Auction on April 1, 2011.
