Giving Back: Why Community Matters More Than Ever

It's important to know how I give back to the communities I know and love. Real estate isn't just about transactions—it's about investing in the neighborhoods that make our region so special.

Organizations Making a Difference

Some of my favorite nonprofits doing incredible work right here in our backyard: 914Cares, Westchester Land Trust, Hope's Door, The Pantry, Community Center NW, and the Suzanne Grant Foundation. Each one addresses critical needs, from food insecurity and domestic violence support to land conservation and community programming.

How We Give Back Together

After every sale, I make a donation in my client's name to an organization of their choice. It's a simple gesture that creates real impact. But more importantly, it introduces people to the vital work happening in their new community. When you learn about your neighbors' needs and the organizations serving them, you don't just move to a place—you become part of it.

This Holiday Season: Let's Hit the Give Back Program Hard

The holidays are the perfect time to amplify our impact. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply wanting to make a difference, let's support these organizations together. A percentage of my profits goes directly back into the community, and I'm challenging myself—and you—to give even more this season.

Keep Showing Up

Giving back isn't a one-time event. It's about consistently showing up for your community, learning what's happening in your own backyard, and helping your neighbors assimilate and thrive. When we all contribute, even in small ways, we create stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
