The Charlotte area Realtors turn in their smart phones and I-pads for hammers and paint for one day every year. This will mark the third anniversary of Realtor Care day. It is our opportunity as Realtors to give back to the community. We volunteer 100% of our time for this one day event. Materials are donated or paid for by corporate donations. Last year we helped over 30 families with much needed repairs to their homes. The repairs ranged from brand new roofs, to painitng, yard work and other repairs needed.
This is my second year of volunteering and I am excited to be doing it again. For one day we all take our phones and put them in our car and work together as a team to help families in need. The best part of it, is the expression of gratitude you see from these homeowners for what we are doing for them. No amount of money can replace the joy a good deed can make you feel like.
Over 600 Realtors will be scattered throughout Mecklenburg and Iredell County for the day. You will see groups of people this year dressed in green t-shirts using hammers and paint brushes to help make someone's life a little easier.
Last year, I was able to help a family get a much needed roof on their home and a ramp for their handicapped child put in. Everytime I drive by there I realize the joy that made me feel and the reason I am in Real Estate...to help families realize the american dream.
