Community Involvement
Committed to a program of volunteering and philanthropy, investing in our community is an integral part of our philosophy. We are concerned about today’s issues as well as investing in the future. From homeless shelters to isolated elders, from food drives to counseling, we participate in the services that many organizations perform in order to make a positive difference in San Francisco.
A portion of every closed transaction is donated to one of the non-profits that we are passionate about. Additionally, we volunteer on Boards of Directors as well as host volunteer events for our clients and friends.
Some of our favorite non-profits include:
Little Brothers: Friends of the Elderly, San Francisco Chapter
Committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly, our motto, “Flowers before bread” means the niceties of life (flowers, companionship, extra attention) are just as important to the human spirit as bread is to the body!
