Veterans United Home Loans surprises veteran by paying off the mortgage of his just purchased Aurora home.
An Army veteran and his wife, who had recently purchased an Aurora, Colorado, home, got the surprise of a lifetime on Veterans Day. Their 30-year mortgage has been paid off and the joyful news was given to them by comedian and TV show host Jimmy Kimmel who pulled them onstage from his Hollywood studio audience. “I didn’t expect it, nothing like it, this is unreal,” said a still stunned, and thankful, Jacob Cline, in a phone interview Saturday. “This is mind-blowing, life-changing, I just can’t say enough about it.” During the “ Jimmy Kimmel Live!” taping Thursday, the comedian started a segment about a public “obsession with real estate listings” that has sprung out of the pandemic. After showing the audience several unusual listings from around the country, including a California home with a “sex dungeon” and a $3 million “ominous” residence in Houston previously owned by “Darth and Cindy Vader,” Kimmel landed on an Aurora home. The three-bedroom, four-bathroom, Aurora listing showed as a fairly typical, suburban home, with no apparent oddities.
