🏡 Reward Our Heroes in Waunakee & Madison: Real Savings for Wisconsin’s Real Heroes

If you serve our community—you deserve to be served with respect, gratitude, and real support.

As a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, former volunteer firefighter, and a Realtor based right here in Waunakee, I’ve made it my mission to give back to the heroes who keep Wisconsin strong. That’s why I created Reward Our Heroes™ — a Wisconsin-based, veteran-owned program that helps our community heroes save when buying or selling a home.

This isn’t some faceless national program. I live here. I work here. I raise my family here. And I’m proud to serve the very people who serve us every day.

Who Qualifies as a Hero in Dane County?

If you work in or around Waunakee, Madison, Sun Prairie, DeForest, Middleton, or anywhere in Wisconsin and serve your community, you likely qualify for Reward Our Heroes.

Here’s who we serve:

🇺🇸 Military – Active duty, Guard, Reserve, veterans, and retirees🚓 Law Enforcement – Police, sheriff’s deputies, Capitol Police, and dispatchers🚒 Fire & EMS – Career and volunteer firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and rescue teams🍎 Educators – Teachers, paraprofessionals, and school staff🩺 Healthcare Workers – Nurses, doctors, CNAs, medical staff at hospitals and clinics🚨 Emergency Services – 911 dispatchers, flight medics, emergency managers

What Kind of Savings Can You Expect?

On average, heroes who work with Reward Our Heroes save about $4,200 at the closing table. That’s real money back in your pocket — money you can use for moving expenses, furniture, or your family.

Every transaction is different, but the mission stays the same: to make homeownership more affordable for the people who sacrifice so much for us.

Do I Have to Live in Dane County to Qualify?

Not at all. While Reward Our Heroes is proudly based in Waunakee, we help heroes across the entire state of Wisconsin, including:

Beaver Dam, Waupun, and Columbus
Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, and Lake Mills
Portage, Lodi, and Baraboo
Janesville, Beloit, and Rock County
Green Bay, Milwaukee, and beyond

And if you’re moving out of state, I’ll connect you with a trusted partner who shares our same values.

Do I Have to Use All the Services?

Nope. You can pick and choose what works best for you. Whether you just want to work with me as your Realtor or take advantage of trusted lenders, title companies, or inspectors, it’s completely up to you.

The more services you use, the more you save — but it’s always your choice.

Why I Do This

After serving in the Air Force for nearly 20 years and working side-by-side with law enforcement, firefighters, and medical professionals, I wanted to continue serving even after the uniform came off.

Today, that mission continues — right here in Waunakee — by helping the people who help us every day.

This isn’t just real estate. It’s real relationships. Real gratitude. Real purpose.

Let’s Talk

If you're a hero living or working in Waunakee, Madison, or anywhere in Wisconsin, and you're thinking about buying or selling a home—I’d be honored to help you do it while saving thousands.
