Brad Nichols was on his fourth tour of active duty in Afghanistan when he was wounded. On his return to the States, Brad and his wife Heather talked about a lifelong dream: to own their own home. They wanted an oasis for their four children, ages 11 to 17. At the time, they were renting in Lakewood Ranch and owning their own home seemed to be a reach – then they met Tammy Pogar of Wagner Realty. “Meeting Tammy was life changing for us,” notes Heather, adding “Tammy had the real estate knowledge and expertise we were looking for and we immediately “clicked”.

Wagner Realty’s is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, which developed the U.S. Military on the Move® (MOM) program.  The MOM Program offers cash rewards, closing cost credits and other real estate related services for active duty, retired (20 years of service) militaryorwounded warriors, when they buy or sell a home.  “The Military On The Move is very special to me, since both my son and my little brother are in the military” notes Tammy adding “being a military mom and sister makes me especially appreciative of our veterans and the sacrifices they make serving our country.”

“Wagner Realty has more than 30 agents who have completed the MOM Program’s comprehensive training, designed to help them better serve the specific needs of those who serve our country,” notes Carla Ross, Wagner Realty’s Relocation Director. “Our agents understand the process and hurdles military members face during transition and know how to help smooth the process. 

“Brad and Heather never thought they’d be able to own their own home,” said Tammy, “but with a wonderful combination of our U.S. Military on the Move® program, supportive sellers and a wonderful selling agent, we were able to make the Nichols family’s dream of home ownership come true. TheMOM program gave them cash back at closing to help them afford essentials, and the sellers paid their first year’s HOA fees. The other agent and I helped with closing costs.” The Nichols family is now happily settled into their Palmetto home.
