Frontline Families
Twin Cities First Responder and Military Home Buyer Program
Supporting Police, Fire, EMS & Military Home Buyers in the Minneapolis & St. Paul metro.
A Personal Thank You to
Twin Cities First Responders and Military
As the wife of a police officer, I understand the unique challenges your family faces. The unpredictable schedules, the missed family dinners and holidays, the worry that comes with the job – and somehow still making time for house hunting between shifts. Your family's sacrifice doesn't go unnoticed, and neither should your service when it comes to one of life's biggest investments.
The Frontline Families program is my way of saying thank you to the police, fire, EMS, dispatch, and military families who dedicate their lives to keeping our Minneapolis and St. Paul communities safe.
HOW OUR PROGRAM WORKS
Unlike other national first responder programs that simply hand you a check after closing, the Frontline Families program gives you the flexibility to use your home buying rebates where they'll make the biggest impact during your Twin Cities home purchase.
Who Qualifies for Twin Cities First Responder HOME DISCOUNTS
✓ Law Enforcement (Minneapolis, St. Paul, and all metro departments)
✓ Firefighters & EMS
✓ 911 Dispatch
✓ Military (active duty, reserves, veterans - all branches)
Your First Responder Home Buying Savings Options
Based on an average Twin Cities home price of $450,000, qualifying first responder families can expect approximately $3,000 in combined rebates and discounts from my team and our trusted Minnesota lender and title partners.
Here's what makes our Minnesota first responder program different...
You choose how to use these home buying savings.
✓ Apply toward closing costs to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses
✓ Buy down your interest rate for long-term monthly payment savings
✓ Fund escrow for HOA dues, taxes, and insurance
✓ Any combination that works best for your family
Pro tip: An interest rate buy-down typically saves Twin Cities first responder families far more over the life of their loan than a lump sum at closing – but the choice is always yoursrs.
Why This Program Exists
Your commitment to serving others shouldn't mean compromising on your family's future. The Frontline Families program increases your buying power, improves affordability, and reduces out-of-pocket expenses so you can focus your funds on the things that matter most to your family. This program ensures that those who protect our community receive the support, flexibility, and savings they deserve when finding their perfect home.
Every family's situation is unique, and this first responder home buyer program is designed to adapt to yours – whether you're a first-time home buyer, moving up, or relocating for a new assignment in the Twin Cities metro area.
Employment verification is completed through the standard lender application process – no additional paperwork required.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Frontline Families Program
-
Unlike national programs that just cut you a check after closing, the Frontline Families program works with my trusted Twin Cities lender and title partners to build in savings from multiple sides of the transaction. For a police officer, firefighter, EMS, dispatch, or military family buying an average $450,000 home in the south metro, that typically adds up to around $4,000 in combined rebates and discounts — and you decide whether it goes toward closing costs, a rate buy-down, or escrow.
-
Both! The program covers active duty, reserves, and veterans across all branches, along with police, fire, EMS, and 911 dispatch. If you're a veteran or active military family relocating to or moving up within the Twin Cities, you qualify the same way a police officer or firefighter family would — no separate application process, just standard employment or service verification through your lender.
-
Great question — I get this one a lot. National programs typically hand you a flat rebate check at closing, no flexibility. Frontline Families lets you choose where your savings go: closing cost assistance, an interest rate buy-down, or funding escrow for taxes and insurance. As a police officer's wife myself, I built this to actually flex around a first responder's schedule and financial priorities, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
-
None beyond what you'd already provide your lender. Employment or service verification happens automatically through the standard mortgage application process — there's no separate first responder paperwork, application, or proof required from you directly. If you're a police officer, firefighter, EMS, dispatcher, or active/veteran military buying in the Twin Cities, you're already most of the way there.

"Leslie’s Frontline Families program is such a unique nod of appreciation to first responders. " “We connected with Leslie via Instagram after seeing her Frontline Families program shared by a mutual acquaintance. After chatting a bit and hearing more about her incentive to first responder families, we were all in! Leslie’s Frontline Families program is such a unique nod of appreciation to first responders. As if saving some money during the home buying process wasn’t great enough, Leslie also met us with such patience and understanding when we would need to do showings/meetings at odd hours or reschedule on a whim with my husband’s schedule as a police officer. Forever grateful that we found such an amazing agent!”
