  With the Closing of a Transaction, My Pledge's Are Honored . . . Pay It Forward

Closed, 358 Peach Orchard Rd, Waterbury CT

 

 Throughout my RE/MAX career, I have always been a Miracle Agent. That doesn't mean that it was a miracle if I sold a home. Being a Miracle Agent in the RE/MAX System, means that I choose to make a donation to the Miracle Home System from the proceeds of my commission.

These donations are used to fund special programs at the nearest Children's hospital, which in this case is the Children's wing at Hartford Hospital. All donations are used locally, and are used wisely. All donations above $25. will have a card sent out to the person we designate.

I take an equal amount and donate to the Susan G Komen Foundation. This is to fund a cure for breast cancer, which hits very close to home for me.

As the Komen Foundation send nothing out, I end up sending a letter to my clients, letting them know that a donation was sent in their name.

I have sent out a lot of letters over the years, because the donations have totaled thousands of dollars. My clients are appreciative, but more importantly, I feel good.

This transaction was especially rewarding, not only because of the completed transaction, but also because it was a short sale transaction that cruised through the process and a family was given a new start. It's days like this where I sleep a little better at night.
