There needs to be more engaged activity in philanthropic work and more giving back to the community. I believe it is a very important key to success for realtors to be outstanding and involved members in their area.

Tower Realty encourages its agents to give of their time to charitable and community service organizations. Our agents serve in a variety of organizations such as: The Arthritis Foundation, The Riverside Community Hospital Foundation, The Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center, and the California Baptist University Board of Visitors.

My son Brent Lee who is also a broker at Tower Realty serves as a commissioner on the City of Riverside Parking, Traffic, and Streets Commission and is a member of the City's International Relations Council.

Are there more people like me who share this philosophy? Tell me a little about what you're involved in and how you give back to your community. All comments are greatly appreciated.
