Realtor.com®, along with Veterans United Home Loans, has announced U.S. Army Sgt. Amy Jo McDonald, of Pella, Iowa, is the brands’ $200,000 Home for the Holidays Veteran Homebuyer Giveaway winner. McDonald has been awarded $200,000 for a home purchase.

“We are delighted to help Amy, Scott and their two girls get one step closer to having a new home to call their own,” says Tricia Smith, senior vice president of Channel Sales and Operations at realtor.com. “Realtor.com is proud to work with Veterans United again this holiday season to support the military families that give so much to protect our freedom and our country.”

“Sgt. Amy McDonald and her husband, Scott, have both given so much in their service to our country,” says Kris Farmer, CMO at Veterans United Home Loans. “At Veterans United, we strive each and every day to help veterans and service members achieve the American Dream of homeownership. We are incredibly excited to partner with realtor.com in making the McDonald’s dream home become a reality for this deserving military family.”

Originally from Brocton, N.Y., McDonald was stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., from 1998 to 2002, serving in the U.S. Army as a petroleum laboratory specialist. McDonald’s husband, Scott, is also a veteran of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps.

“We are sincerely grateful for the gift that Veterans United has given to our family in collaboration with realtor.com, and we appreciate the recognition you have given to veterans,” says McDonald. “Winning this sweepstakes means a lot to our family. It will lift the burden of having a monthly mortgage payment and will allow us to be more financially prepared for our children’s future. We couldn’t be more grateful for that opportunity.”
