Helping charity 1 home at a time.

By
Real Estate Agent with Main Street Properties

As my absolute first post on Active Rain I thought "what the heck do I write about"?  Then after several minutes of complete agony over the topic of my blog topic, I came to the conclusion that I would just use this as a way to introduce and promote my vision for the future.  I have decided that using my Professional Real Estate career to help charity is what I've been called to do.  My goal is to give to those who are in need of help by contributing a significant portion of my Professional Fee to certain charitable organizations.

I got into this business because I had a strong desire to help people and affect change in others through caring and giving.  My Church does so much good in people's lives that I want them to have the kind of support that they can count on going forward.  My giving isn't going to be limited to my Church and will include such others as Ronald McDonald House, City of Hope and St Judes to name just a few. However, I am not going to limit it to those organizations alone.  My clients will have the opportunity to designate a charity of their choice thus providing them with the chance to help me make a difference in this world.

I hope what I am doing will change people forever!

I have 4 agent that devote their database to charity.  A 5th ended up leaving the business for full time charity work.  It is there passion.  Interesting they are 4 of the top 6 of 15 agents. 

Go with your passion..... For my partners it is golf 3 times a week.  They see it as 9 prospects to spend 5 hours with a week.  It is their passion and it works.....
