IS YOUR COMPANY MILITARY FRIENDLY?

By
Real Estate Agent with Zach Taylor Real Estate 213-638

What is a military friendly company?  It's more than having collections for toys at Christmas or flying your flag proudly or tieing a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.  Not that we should stop doing this but maybe we need to do more.

There are many types of military we can serve, the reserve, guardsmen, how about the support of the families with deployed spouses, or the newly seperated from the service with or without service related injuries.

We need to become more military friendly, not because it will bring in more closings but it's the right thing to do!

How about starting a e-mail list of your hometowns's service men and women keeping them up on what is going on in their community.

Have a company picnic this summer inviting ALL military related persons and the general public to help you Thank them for their service.

There are over 200 nationwide companies that offer military discounts, compile a list and let those companies and your military related families know about them.

Create a line of communication, so these men and women and their families know you care and are there for them.

And of course these families will have unique real estate related problems, we MUST as Realtors consider these problems and leans how to assist them.

LET'S SEE A LITTLE MORE RED, WHITE AND BLUE.  I believe with the help of our active rain partners we can come up with many more ideas. 

LET"S HEAR FROM YOU!

Well said Doris.  In the last 2 years I have helped 8 different military families secure a home.  They sure do appreciated the hard work and the time spent helping them acquire a VA loan.  Don't take our heros for granted.  Thanks for posting!

I agree with your post Doris. We have a lot of servicemen and women in our area and we do have to dive alot of consideration to them. I hope many areas do the same too.
