Thinking of buying or selling a house? Your realtor may be happy to make a contribution to the RCEF as part of the deal. Many realtors make it a standard practice to contribute to organizations near and dear to their clients’ hearts and commonly honor such client requests by contributing 10% to 20% of their net profits.
“It’s a win, win, win situation,” explains RCEF supporter and realtor Roya Zaman. “The client is able to help a worthy cause, the realtor makes their client happy, and the community benefits as well. Giving to the RCEF is a perfect way to provide good customer service and help build a strong school system for the benefit of everyone in our city.”
Long-time RCEF volunteer, sponsor, and realtor Diane Martin, has already committed to sponsoring RCEF’s and looks forward to making further contributions to the RCEF. “I love being able to help our community,” she says, “plus the relationship between real estate and schools is a pretty obvious one. Everybody is aware of the fact that homes near good schools have high value. Improving our schools through a contribution from my sales is just good business sense as far as I am concerned.”
