RE/MAX Prestige Announces Foundation Partnership with Habitat for Humanity
Westford, MA, April 25, 2012 --(PR.com)-- A multi-year agreement forged in Westford today links more than 300 agents in the state of Massachusetts’ largest realty office with Habitat for Humanity’s goal to end poverty housing.
The partnership includes plans for groundbreaking efforts in Greater Lowell, Worcester and Springfield building homes and community throughout the territory served by RE/MAX Prestige.
A project will also be selected to bring leaders of both organizations together to highlight the partnership and to participate directly in the building of Habitat homes. Agents and their teams will also be actively involved in the project through the sponsorship of Team Building Days on the home sites.
RE/MAX Prestige Brokers and agents have also individually pledged to contribute a portion of their commission to Habitat for Humanity to fund the construction of simple, decent, affordable homes.
RE/MAX Prestige Co-Owners Stacey Alcorn and Andy Armata, and Dan Bush, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell’s Director of Development formally recognized the agreement following a special presentation to the RE/MAX Prestige agents during their annual sales meeting.
“It is really important for those in need of a simple, decent place to live that all of our society works together to help solve the housing needs in our community. This partnership with RE/MAX Prestige will go a long way in helping us achieve the goal of eliminating poverty housing in our area," Bush said.
"We are very grateful for this partnership”, Bush said. “The truth is that both RE/MAX Prestige and Habitat for Humanity have the same goal: We both are working to build a better community and we both want to help families find a place that they can call home.”
