Raffles, a small way to give back to the people who give so much.

Our educators deserve to be celebrated—every day, and especially in moments like this. It was such a pleasure to bring this together alongside local businesses who feel the same way.

Thank you to The Vine Martini & Wine Bar for hosting, and to every business who contributed to making it meaningful.

Winners announced HERE!

What if you couldn’t find the right home… so you created it instead? ✨
This couple of teachers used the Educator Advantage program in Grayslake and turned their home search into something completely different.
Instead of continuing to compete for limited inventory, we introduced a curated renovation property—allowing them to personalize finishes, colors, and design selections from the start.
The result felt like a new construction experience without the wait—fully tailored, thoughtfully designed, and move-in ready in just 2 months from contract to keys.
A completely reimagined way to buy a home in Grayslake—personalized, efficient, and built around their lifestyle.

🎉 Big Congratulations from Educators Advantage! 🎉

We’re celebrating two amazing families and the incredible agents who helped make their home dreams come true!

🏡 Lorie and her family closed on their beautiful new home last month with the help of Erik Jensen from The Hjorth Team! Erik generously gave 20% of his commission back to Lorie and her family at closing — great job, Erik and congratulations to the Hollanders! 👏

💛 Marisa and Elijah just bought their first home together last week! Their homebuying journey was made seamless thanks to Jodi Cinq-Mars with The Cinq-Mars Group and Brent Kenyon with Keller Home Loans. Together, they provided 20% commission back plus $1,000 off lending fees — amazing teamwork! 🙌

And remember — with every Educators Advantage transaction, an additional 3% of the agent’s commission goes directly into our Education Fund, supporting scholarships, grants, and local foundations that give back to our schools. 🍎✨

We were so grateful to have been a part of Zion Benton Township High School ‘s Back to School Kick-off Bash. Safe to say Superintendent of Beach Park Schools, Dr. Denise Wilcox, was the master mind behind this incredible event.

Educators Advantage and Cinq-Mars Group are always proud to support our schools and educators.
