Real Estate is about Service and Friendship

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Property Centre

Selling real estate isn't all about making money and long hours and finding new clients and marketing yourself and your listings.  It's about helping people - reaching out to those who have a need, to those who may not have a broad network of support, who may not have adequate - or any - health insurance.

Rose Roberts is a Realtor with our RE/MAX franchise.  She was diagnosed a few months ago with breast cancer, and had very little insurance.  Thanks to donations and many hours of fundraising by realtors in our company, we've helped Rose pay for the operations.  Now she has hospital bills, and doctor bills, and - of course - lost income.

We're holding 2 major fundraising events for Rose soon.

April 26:  Tomoka Oaks Golf Tournament.  Cost $60/per person, or $220 per fore-some which includes green fees, cart fees, and lunch.  9 AM Start.

May 10:  Poker Run, 1st Prize $500 (a donation by another realtor) + 2nd & 3rd place prizes + door prizes, BBQ and music.  Enter with anything on wheels (remember this is Daytona, we use wheels for "runs").  Registration from 10 to 11:45 AM at the Volusia Home Builders Assn., 3520 W. International Spedway Blvd., Daytona Beach.  Last bike due in by 4 PM.  Call Sue Morrison, 386-290-6737 for race details.

Visit http://www.helpushelprose.com/ for donations, to volunteer, or ask for information.

Reach out and help someone.  What goes around does come around - thank you all!

Susan, Thanks for your Amen to that! We often forget how fortunate we are, even though things are very challenging. Another agent in my office learned that her sister-in-law committed suicide Saturday morning. In my office, we all try to pitch in one way or another to help each other out. It's amazing the difference in office dynamics. We're shaping up the poker run for May 10. The golf tournament is planned for April 26th. We need to count our blessings, every day.

Kevin, I thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. Although she's having a rough time, we met for lunch, laughed and visited with her, and got her to think outside the box. Many people are coming through and helping her out and that's what we're here for. We had a garage sale that brought in over $3000! It's amazing what dynamic agents can accomplish when we put our minds to it! She has chemo treatments through June, so please keep those thoughts and prayers coming. We've got a long road ahead.

Hi! Is anyone going to come down for the Poker Run? Motorcycles are not required! We have a great ride with some wonderful places to stop and the Bar B Q at the end. And don't forget the Door Prizes!
