About Us

Teachers shape lives every day, often with little recognition for the weight they carry. Reward Our Heroes™ helps Wisconsin educators save thousands on homeownership while supporting their families with teacher scholarships, housing grants, and educator mortgage assistance.
As an Air Force veteran, I understand service and sacrifice. Teachers serve in a different but equally vital way — shaping futures, protecting students, and carrying responsibilities that reach far beyond the classroom.

Reward Our Heroes™ exists to ensure Wisconsin educators are supported with more than just words. We believe those who dedicate their lives to teaching deserve every advantage when it comes to buying or selling a home.

Through our Teacher Home Buying Program, educators save thousands with commission rebates, lender credits, and reduced fees. Paired with teacher scholarships and educator housing grants, our program delivers resources designed specifically for teachers and their families.
At Reward Our Heroes™, teachers aren’t just transactions. You’re mentors, protectors, and community builders — and this program is built to honor that with tangible savings and long-term support.
