ORLANDO, Fla. – Achieving out to enable appears to be component of a Realtor’s DNA, no matter if it is organizing a food items generate or helping to rebuild communities after a hurricane. In that spirit, Florida Realtors® has donated $500K to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) Realtor Reduction Foundation (RRF) to assistance it put together for the long term.

“We do a incredible volume of charitable work driving the scenes,” claims Florida Realtors CEO Margy Grant. “It’s component of the Realtor heart and portion of the Real estate agent family.
