Grant Runnerstrum

Homes for Heroes would like to introduce our new affiliate, Grant Runnerstrum!

I have been in the Real Estate business since 1994 in one form or another. Starting in the Apartment business I’ve had positions in various companies working on different types of real estate ranging from office, industrial, retail, and of course residential homes. I was born and raised in Southern California, lived in Indiana for many years, and settled in the Central Coast of California with my wife because its near family and we love this area. I’m with Keller Williams Realty Central Coast and I am very excited about being affiliated with Homes for Heroes.

This program resonates with who I am. Teachers especially in my mind are undervalued in our community. We learn from them and pretend that we didn’t need them. I don’t take them for granted. Police, Fire, and Military of course all deserve special privilege because they provide our freedom and core civilian functions. The concept of helping these public service heroes is just the right thing to do. Its rare to have an opportunity to be a part of something that is truly beneficial to everyone involved and genuinely purposeful like this. I am grateful for this program and look forward to participating in its success.

Eileen Scates

Homes for Heroes is pleased to welcome our new affiliate, Eileen Scates!

Licensed since 2002 I have worked in all aspects of real estate from Office Management to Training, Property Management and Relocation. Always looking to further my knowledge and expertise I continue to further my education in the field. Currently working on my CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) and PMN (Performance Management Network), I have recently received my TRC (Transnational Referral Certification) & SFR (Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource Certification).

The relationship between a home Buyer or Seller and their agent is based on trust, shared goals and understanding. I strive to continually improve and to do this I listen and take the needs and wants into consideration. I’d love to hear from you! There are aspects of real estate sales that seem pretty simple. There are many elements of a smooth transaction; however, now and then there are some that can be complicated and daunting. I deal with professionals and vendors who treat real estate as a business. We pride ourselves by providing a superior level of informed real estate services to buyers, sellers, & investors in the Central Florida area.

I can help you with every aspect of buying or selling for your home because I’m experienced, because I’m professional . . . and because I care. I’ve helped families in Clermont, Davenport, Dr. Phillips, Groveland, Leesburg, Orlando, Minneola, Montverde, Windermere, and Winter Garden.

I’m a proud member of Women’s Council of Realtors, Real Life Ministries, Elks Lodge, a Susan G Komen advocate, CFWC Clermont Women’s Club – helping childrens charities, volunteering, & Fundraising. Recently I joined the Homes For Heroes Team – a great program helping those that make a big difference in our lives – we couldn’t do it without them!

Together we strive for a better positive today!
