I try to make a difference by serving on Grievance committee.

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Centre Realtors

I have served on Grievance committee as well as professional Standards committee of Bucks county Association of realtors for many years .

I am on the Grievance commitee this year .

Though most real estate agents are ethical there are occasional instances where we receive complaints from consumers or other agents .

I am happy to serve on the Grievance committee. If does not take up much time. we may have a meeting once a month and we do have training every year.

I was on the community service committee of our board and we organized an event with silent auction to benefit homeless shelter.

In the past I have been involved with the Halloween events and Warwick day at Warwick township. For halloween I took 200 goody bags with candy for kids who came to the Community park one year.

I would like to do something to help seniors . I have been thinking of going to the senior center and offering to teach seniors how to use the computer.  

When I see some seniors at  grocery stores trying to push the grocery cart and buying  groceries I wonder why the stores do not help such people by helping them to the car. 

There is so much I would like to do if I had the time. But my prospective buyers and sellers are my bosses.

Whenever I have something planned that is the day everyone wants to see me or wants to see a house . Even tenants call with problems . 

I can not commit to doing anything on a regular schedule . At this time I can only volunteer my time on days that I am free. I like to help out at the temple.

I admire people who volunteer their time because that is the most precious commodity and we can't buy time.

I do give to as many charities as possible, homeless shelters and habitat as they are related to housing.  This is how I make a small difference in the community.

I go to goodwill every month and donate items . I donate books and magazines to the library . I donate to veterans organization to show my gratitude to veterans who have served our country. 

We can all make a difference in some way. I wish i could do more.

Hi Gita,

I think that it's so important to be involved with the local association. I've served on the technical committee for several years now on our local board.

Gita . . . perhaps people are asked "Do you need some help out to the car?" and the senior replies "No thank you."  I know our markets here ask all the time, and most people decline.
