Realtors gear up for community service

0

The date is set and details are finalized for agents at Keller Williams Realty in Los Alamitos who are gearing up for the 5th annual “RED Day” on Thursday, May 9. RED (Renew, Energize and Donate) Day is a Keller Williams Realty service initiative dedicated to improving local communities. This year, agents and volunteers will be helping at the Ronald McDonald House.

Since the first RED Day in 2009, Keller Williams associates have given almost a half million hours of community service in activities ranging from food and blood drives to cleaning up trash in local public parks, revamping gardens at nursing homes and rebuilding homes and schools.

“The vision for RED Day is that all Keller Williams associates actively engage in a coordinated effort to improve their local community,” said Elaine Armogida, CEO and team leader at KW Los Alamitos. “Annually, this is one of the single biggest events undertaken in the real estate industry, and we hope it inspires others in the real estate industry to start their own community service project.”

“This event is an entrenched part of Keller Williams Realty’s culture and displays the extraordinary effect a company can have when individuals come together to work as a team for the greater good of everyone,” said Armogida. “We can’t tell you what an impact it made on each of us personally. It felt so great to give back to the community we know and love.”

“Agents and associates also wear red shirts to stand out,” said Armogida. “And because of her constant commitment to the culture of our company, the day is dedicated in honor of our Vice Chairman, Mo Anderson.”

“We know that time is money for our agents. But they embrace helping out in the community and RED Day has become an event they look forward to each year,” said Armogida.

“Our culture is what defines us as a company and part of that means taking time to remember what is most important, our communities,’ said Anderson.

Keller Williams is ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction” by J.D. Power and Associates for both the home buyer and home seller segments.
