In early 2010 I began working with a local non-profit organization in San Diego that's mission was built on helping to stabilize communities and offer assistance to those in need of second chances by offering work and training in the housing and green energy. Little did I know that my 9 year mortgage banking and real estate background would be so useful. This organization was fortunate in being able to utlize the Neighborhood Stabilization Program afforded to non-profits to purchase, rehabilitate and resell REO assets that would otherwise be marketed traditionally (usually in poor condition). This program has allowed me to grow within the altruistic non-profit community and really understand the positive impact those in the Real Estate profession can offer the community simply by shifting our focus from non-transactional behavior. We are able to make a tremendous difference in the communities we serve and create win-win partnerships within the industry.
