WOOHOO – one of the big reasons I picked Keller Williams Realty was because of their positive and giving philosophy. That will be demonstrated wonderfully this week for Keller Williams REDday 2014 as we close our office and join together at Family Growth Center to help in their mission and ministry of helping at-risk and homeless teenagers. As a grandmother of many, including precious adoptees and foster children, that's definitely a subject near and dear to my heart!
And we're not the only ones. Keller Williams offices EVERYWHERE will be CLOSED on Thursday May 8, 2014 and the majority of agents will be involved in helping community organizations in their own areas in a wide variety of ways. Some examples I've shared on Twitter this week include:
- Food Drives to help an organization or local Food Bank
- Neighborhood Clean Up Events
- Ginormous Fund Raisers for Charitable Organizations
- Building Shelves for Hope for Youth
- Landscaping chiildren's centers
- Cleaning roadways
- and so much more.
From the West Coast offices of Washington, California, and Oregon to the East Coast offices from up in Maine to down to Florida AND overseas, including Africa and Turkey, REDday 2014 will be a special day to make positive changes in the communities each of us REALTORS lives in. What a grand way to help, don't you think?

I love this idea from Keller Williams in Cleveland to help with 115 veterans' homes!

Many of the companies we work with, such as Old Republic Home Protection, will be joining in to help us – here's an example from the Keller Williams office in Elk Grove California.

I'm currently working on fun plans to drape some of my granddogs and grandkids in RED to help me share all this grand news for all ages from very young to elderly seniors.
In case you are wondering if the RED in REDday means anything – it does!
P.S. And not to worry! If you are in the midst of an escrow and something vital comes up or you are scheduled to close, that would definitely be a top priority as well – with other agents helping for REDday in lieu of your agent so your agent can take good care of your real estate needs. 🙂 Speaking of which, don't forget that if YOU aren't currently working with a REALTOR® and need any assistance with your real estate needs now or in the future – or know someone else who does, I'd love to help. “Call Kaye!”657-229-5293 or email me at Kaye@KayeSwain.com 🙂
