Local Real Estate Agents Volunteer at Habitat for Humanity Home Build
Hollis, New York (Grassroots Newswire) July 6th 2015 -- More than sixty real estate agents from EXIT Kingdom Realty, EXIT Realty Landmark and across the region of EXIT Realty Downstate NY will volunteer with Habitat for Humanity July 15 -17 for a new home construction building blitz in the Hollis, Queens.
More than 1 billion people worldwide live in urban slums and in the U.S. alone, 45.3 million people live in poverty. Habitat for Humanity believes that every person should have a decent and affordable place to live and through their world-wide network of volunteers, thousands of low-income families have found new hope in the form of affordable housing.
The Hollis build is being coordinated by Habitat for Humanity NYC which was founded in 1984 and builds in the five boroughs of New York City. Habitat for Humanity partners with families who invest sweat-equity hours in building their home and others. They make affordable down-payments, timely mortgage payments and attend homeowner education classes.
“What a great experience for our associates to participate in building the very product they sell for a living. To do so through such an incredible organization as Habitat for Humanity NYC is truly rewarding,” said Vincent Koo CEO and Broker of EXIT Kingdom Realty and EXIT Realty Landmark.
EXIT Realty Landmark and EXIT Kingdom Realty are franchise brokerages associated with EXIT Realty Corp. International, which is a partner organization of Habitat for Humanity International. A portion of every transaction fee collected by EXIT Realty Corp. International is pledged to its charity of choice and to-date, $2.5 Million has been pledged to Habitat for Humanity. The company has contributed $25,000 to the Hollis build.
“Vincent has built his brokerage on the spirit of cooperation and teamwork, much like the qualities embraced by Habitat for Humanity,” said Hector Castillo, Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Downstate NY. “The agents and brokers associated with his offices are leaders in their communities and we are so pleased with the work they’re doing.”
“EXIT Realty couldn’t be more proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity NYC to help make the dream of home ownership come true for a Habitat partner family,” said EXIT’s Corporate Habitat Representative, Christine Ireborg. “We wanted to identify with an organization that shares our values and philosophies; an organization based on giving back.”
