Charity
We donate 10% of all commissions to a charity
of our client’s choice!
Our charity donation program started in January of 2010 with the earthquake in Haiti. We had several upcoming closings at that time, and made the decision to donate 10% of our commission for the following 6 months to the earthquake relief. Our clients loved the idea and we loved making a difference.
At the end of that 6 months, we decided we had to continue some sort of charity program. We talked about several charities and we talked about contributing to local organizations. Then it dawned on us – we should let our clients decide what’s important to them.
Since then, we’ve been contributing 10% of every commission to whichever charitable organization our client holds closest to their heart. It’s always great to hear the story behind why a client chose a particular charity.
In case you hadn’t figured it out, this program is where our slogan “Making a Difference, One Home at a Time” comes from. Now we look forward to a donation after every closing.
