Giving back to the communities where we live and work was never a question - it’s just something we’ve done and what we’ll continue to do. All of our brokers give back to their communities in some way, but there’s one that’s near to our hearts - Community Key.

 

In 2015, Paul experienced a series of life-changing events. His daughter had a near-death experience during a swimming competition and spent five horrible days in the intensive care unit (ICU).

 

During his time in the ICU, Paul witnessed many other worried families visiting their ill children, some of which had been in intensive care for months. It made him wonder, how did these families decide whether to return to work or to continue sacrificing financial stability to stand by their children? 

 

While his daughter was released and returned to swimming, Paul was determined to help those families still in the hospital. He presented the idea of starting a charity to the team, and without a second thought, the team pulled together to donate $30,000 to start Community Key.  

 

Today, a portion of each mortgage we fund goes to help families that are caring for a seriously-ill or critically-injured child in paying their mortgage or rent payments, allowing them some relief from one of their largest financial burdens.
