REALTORS® Give Back: Community involvement runs deep in real estate

Community Aid and Real Estate

Community involvement runs deep in real estate, with nearly two-thirds of real estate professionals volunteering at least monthly. From food banks and schools to youth sports and housing initiatives, agents are donating their time and money to community causes, with about 80% saying community involvement remains an important part of their business plan.

Sixty-four percent of REALTOR® members volunteer on a monthly basis, devoting about eight hours per month to community service, while 84% made charitable donations over the past year, the survey shows, with the typical member contributing $1,500. The giving extends across the industry. The typical broker-owner donated $3,000 annually to charitable causes, while the median amount an association contributed was $14,500.
