🏡 Homes for 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 proudly represent Homes for Heroes, a national program with a local heart.

Through Wisconsin Homes for Heroes, I help community heroes in Waunakee, Madison, Sun Prairie, DeForest, and beyond save thousands when buying or selling a home.

What Is Homes for Heroes?

Homes for Heroes is the largest nationwide network of affiliate real estate professionals and local businesses committed to helping community heroes save on their real estate journey.

But here in Dane County, it's more than a program—it's personal.

This isn’t some faceless national service. 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, Verona, or Lodi, and serve your community, you likely qualify for Homes for Heroes savings.

Here’s who we serve:

• 🚓 Law Enforcement – Madison PD, Dane County Sheriff’s Office, Capitol Police, and dispatchers

What Kind of Savings Can You Expect?

On average, our local heroes save $3,000 to $6,000+ through:

✅ Reduced real estate commissions✅ Lender credits to lower your mortgage costs✅ Savings on inspections, appraisals, title fees, and moving expenses✅ Access to local discounts from hero-friendly businesses in the area

If you're buying and selling, you can save on both transactions.

Do I Have to Live in Dane County to Qualify?

Not at all. While we’re proudly based in Waunakee, I serve heroes all across Southern and Central Wisconsin, including:

• Beaver Dam, Waupun, and Columbus

• Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, and Lake Mills

• Portage, Lodi, and Baraboo

• Janesville, Beloit, and Rock County

• And anywhere else heroes call home across Wisconsin

And if you’re moving out of state, I’ll connect you with a trusted Homes for Heroes affiliate nationwide.

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 lender, title, and inspection savings, it’s completely up to you.

That said—the more you use, the more you save. I’ve built a trusted network of local hero-friendly professionals who understand your schedule, your service, and your goals.

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 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. And for me, it’s 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.
