Our Philosophy: Working Together to Create a Better World
As the social entrepreneurs of the real estate industry, we at Better World Real Estate Agents™ are merging the power of business and financial transactions and socially responsible entrepreneurs and investors with the creativity and compassion of caring individuals to help solve important social problems.
The idea of thinking globally and acting locally enshrines the virtues of individual empowerment and personal responsibility. It follows from this idea that everyday activities, such as buying or selling a home and other real estate and financial transactions, offer us opportunities to create a better world. A majority of the people polled said that they would prefer to use businesses and services which donate a significant portion of their sales or profits to charity. By working with socially responsible professionals, society's ordinary financial structures can be harnessed toward compassionate and socially transformative ends if we so choose, and if we work together for the benefit of all.
It isn’t always easy in a competitive business environment to find people who truly care about making a difference, let alone businesses who will put their money where their heart is. That’s precisley why we created the Better World Real Estate Agents™ referral network: to connect home-buying/home-selling/investing consumers and the charities they care about with local real estate agents who care about making a difference.
Real estate agents and brokers who register with Better World Real Estate Agents™.com promise to donate 10% of their personal commissions to the charity of the borrower’s choice with each referral they receive. This means that when you buy or sell your property with a Better World Real Estate Agents™.com referred professional, you will get excellent service, make a generous contribution to a worthy cause, and get a generous tax write off! Its a Win – Win – Win solution!
Our Mission
The immediate mission of Better World Real Estate Agents™.com is to operate as a preferred referral network to connect buyers & sellers who care about making a difference with local, likeminded socially responsible and green real estate professionals who will donate a substantial portion of their commissions to charity.
The long term mission of Better World Real Estate Agents™.com is to help standardize charitable giving by real estate professionals as a part of every property purchase or sale. We will help achieve this by inspiring and fulfilling a consumer preference for using green and socially responsible real estate professionals who commit to making sizable charitable donations a standard part and practice of every real estate transaction.
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.” Robert F. Kennedy
