I’ve lived in this community since 1968. We moved here when Dad left the Air Force to fly commercially, and Dallas has been my home ever since. It’s where I grew up, where I raised my family, and where I’ve spent over 3 decades helping our friends and neighbors find their own place to call home.

Over the years, I’ve come to believe one thing very strongly: the greatest impact on our community happens closest to home. And often, the people making the biggest difference are doing it quietly, without recognition.

That’s why we’re starting something new – something I’m truly excited about! Our $1K Giveaway! Each month, we invite YOU to nominate someone in our community who’s making a real difference. This month, we’re shining a light on the theme of “Home.”

We want to celebrate anyone who helps make “Home” possible – whether they’re helping the homeless on their path to permanent housing, supporting veterans transitioning into civilian life, mentoring kids who need stability and encouragement, or simply being a warm, welcoming presence for all their neighbors. If you know someone making that kind of impact, we’d love to hear their story.

Then, each month, we’ll select one story that truly speaks to us and award that person $1,000! We want their good work to be seen so they can get recognition and get more support! We want to meet them and make sure they know, “Your work matters! We see the amazing things you do!”

This community has given me so much, and I believe it’s our privilege – and our responsibility – to give back. This is why we do what we do, our passion to serve families fuels our ability to give back! Whether it’s supporting Children’s Medical and other worthy causes in our community or just noticing the everyday helpers around us, we want to be part of shining a light on the good being done.

So if someone comes to mind, don’t keep it to yourself! Call or Text us at 703-634-6615 or you can even email us at [email protected] and nominate them! And if you know of someone who is thinking of selling or buying a home introduce us! For every introduction you give, we donate to Children’s Medical and other Worthy Causes!

With Gratitude,
