INVESTING IN OUR NETWORK

I am honored to serve as the Chair of the RRAR REALTOR® Giving Network (RGN), alongside an incredible group of dedicated directors and leaders in our industry. As real estate professionals, we have the privilege of helping people find homes every day—but I believe our impact can and should extend beyond those who can afford housing.

My passion for real estate has always been rooted in guiding people through one of the most important journeys of their lives: finding a place to call home. But I also know that not everyone has that opportunity, and that’s what drives me to be a part of the RGN’s mission. As REALTORS®, we have a unique ability—and responsibility—to come together and make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness in our community.

Through RGN, we are harnessing the power of our collective giving to provide critical funding to local housing nonprofits, ensuring that more families and individuals can transition from homelessness to stable housing. The impact we can create together is far greater than what any one of us could achieve alone.

I invite you to be a part of this movement. Whether it’s through volunteering, attending events like the PickleBall Tournament, or making a small donation from each closing, every effort brings us one step closer to ending homelessness in the Triangle. Let’s use our platform, our influence, and our passion to create lasting change right here in our community.

Together, we can help make the dream of home a reality for everyone.
