🚨🚨 Long -ish post alert. So today I was able to pick up my Good Neighbor award from Nefar.
Ironically, someone asked me yesterday what work award I was most proud of. It’s this one - hands down.
Why? Well, for starters, there are over 11k realtors in Northeast Florida and only 1 gets this award. It is completely determined by voting and nominations from other realtors.
Secondly, the organization we have partnered with, Hunger Fight, is an incredible organization that ”feeds the bellies and feeds the minds” of local youth. Many of these kids don’t get meals outside of school and Hunger Fight has donated over 17 million meals over the last decade and continues to add to their services and reach. Dean and Sherri Porter, the founders of the organization, have dedicated the last 10 years if their life to help erase hunger and illiteracy in Jacksonville and have been amazing partners.
Lastly, when we tell our clients that a portion of their closing goes to feed hungry kids and give them their certificate showing how many meals they contributed, there is rarely a dry eye in the house.
I don’t do my job for awards. We didn’t partner with Hunger Fight hoping this would happen. However, I could not be more honored or proud of this recognition and want to thank all of our clients for making this possible. We love you and will continue working hard to make an impact in our community!
