February 5, 2026
The Greenville Dream Team at Marchant Real Estate, under the leadership of Celeste Purdie, has surpassed $100,000 donated to local heroes through the Homes for Heroes program, marking a major milestone in the team’s commitment to those who serve the Upstate.
Homes for Heroes is a nationwide real estate network focused on delivering savings to those who serve. It offers significant savings to firefighters, law enforcement, military members, healthcare professionals, educators, and EMS personnel.
Led by Celeste Purdie and Heather Barajas, the Greenville Dream Team has assisted 47 hero families across the Upstate, helping them buy or sell homes while putting real dollars back into their pockets. The closing that drove the team beyond the $100,000 mark was the home purchase for veteran, Jammie Catoe, and his family.
“For us, this program is personal,” said Purdie. “As a veteran, I know that local heroes give up so much to serve. I am passionate about helping heroes achieve home ownership to build wealth and have a place to call home.”
Seabrook Marchant, Broker-in-Charge and Owner of Marchant Real Estate, emphasized the company’s dedication to this cause. “As a veteran myself, supporting and giving back to our heroes is core to who we are as a company. We are incredibly proud of Celeste’s commitment, a commitment that often means sacrificing additional commission revenue to ensure our heroes come first,” said Marchant.
The Greenville Dream Team’s advocacy reflects Marchant Real Estate’s broader commitment to making meaningful contributions to the region.
