Creating Value in Our Communities!

We’ve always believed that preparing a home for market is a team effort, and part of my job as your realtor is to collaborate with skilled, professional contractors to make sure everything is just right. However, beyond working with established professionals, we are also passionate about supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Whenever possible, we seek out opportunities for high school and college students to contribute to the process of prepping homes for market. These young individuals often want to run their own small businesses or to make money for school, and we love being able to help them grow by offering real, hands-on work experience while they build their client base and life experiences. Some of the roles they take on include tasks like mulching, lawn care, power washing, and general labor, but that’s just the beginning.

We also collaborate with students for painting touch-ups, minor landscaping projects, window cleaning, junk removal, staging assistance, and even small repairs like fixing fences or pressure washing decks. Many of these young entrepreneurs have talents in digital services, too—such as offering help with photography or video walkthroughs, which can be great for giving a property extra visibility online.

By giving these young people the opportunity to work on real projects, not only are they gaining valuable experience, but they’re also getting a chance to see what it’s like to build a business from the ground up. And what’s more, in these cases, we cover the costs for their services as a way of giving back to the community and helping foster their entrepreneurial spirit.

We strongly believe in encouraging the next generation to take initiative and develop their skills in whatever capacity they choose, and this is one small way I can help them along that journey.

It’s a rewarding process for everyone involved—the homeowners get quality work, and these young entrepreneurs get an invaluable chance to grow their businesses and confidence.
