Why Work with Cathy Cooper
Built for Texas Community Heroes
Cathy helps Texas first responders, teachers, and healthcare professionals understand their numbers,
see which programs may actually fit, and map out a real homebuying plan instead of guessing.
Programs for Heroes
Texas offers special homebuyer and assistance options for eligible first responders and educators,
and there are other paths for healthcare professionals. Cathy helps you understand which programs,
if any, might fit your situation.
Real Numbers, Not Hype
Together you’ll look at what you earn, what you’ve saved, and your rent history so you can see a realistic price range,
estimated payment, and cash-to-close — without guessing or relying on generic online calculators.
No-Pressure Game Plan
This is not “instant approval” marketing. The 60‑second intake gives Cathy enough to outline where you stand today
and what to focus on next — whether you’re ready now or need 3–18 months to get there.

What Texas Heroes Are Saying
Real People. Real Results.
★★★★★
I honestly didn't know programs like this existed. Cathy's team found a down payment assistance option that covered most of what I needed to close. We were in our home in under 30 days.

★★★★★
As a firefighter, I assumed I'd need years to save up before buying. The team walked me through a program I'd never heard of and made the whole process way less stressful than I expected.
JR
Jenna R.
Fort Worth Fire Department
★★★★★
I'm a veteran and had no idea about the options available to me in Texas. From the first call to closing, the team kept it simple and kept me informed. 10/10 recommend.

Common Questions
What Texas Heroes Ask Us First
Will checking my eligibility hurt my credit score?
No. This intake form does not trigger a hard credit inquiry. Cathy's team reviews your general situation — income, employment, and savings — before any credit check is ever discussed. You are in control of every next step.
Do I have to be a first-time homebuyer?
Not necessarily. Several Texas hero programs are available to repeat buyers, not just first-timers. Cathy will walk you through which programs you may qualify for based on your full picture.
What counts as a "community hero" for these programs?
Texas programs typically cover law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, corrections officers, educators (teachers, counselors, administrators), military active duty and veterans, and many healthcare professionals. If you're not sure whether your role qualifies, just submit the form — the review is free.
How much down payment assistance could I actually receive?
It varies by program and your situation. Some Texas programs provide 3–5% of the purchase price as forgivable assistance. Cathy will show you specific numbers based on your income, purchase price range, and the programs currently available — not a generic estimate.
How long does the process take after I submit?
Cathy's team typically responds within 1 business day. From there, a 20–30 minute strategy call will give you a clear picture of your options, your price range, and your next steps — with no pressure to move forward until you're ready.
What if I'm not ready to buy for 6–12 months?
That's actually the best time to start. Cathy helps you build a plan now so you know exactly what to do in the next few months to be in the best position when you're ready. There is no rush, and no obligation.
