In a recent discussion with Real Estate Agents around Tasmania I asked the question:

Is giving back to your community important to you and something that you encourage throughout your team?

The response was overwhelming of giving back to their local community and one that I am not sure that people may associate with real estate agents.

????Why would you give your time freely? ⏰

????Why would you give money? ????

????Why would you sponsor an event?

Many of us have been conditioned “to give to get” and a way that many people operate in business and in their life.

One is a “What’s in it for me?” attitude and the other is  “How can I contribute and make a difference?” attitude.  Which attitude do you operate from in your business?

A variety of ways that the real estate industry is giving back to its community every year within Tasmania ranges from and are not limited to :

·     Volunteering at Salvation Army and feeding homeless

·     Sponsorship to local sports groups

·     Silent Auctions

·     Winter Relief

·     Charity Sail Days

·     Flying Doctors

·     Internal Assistance fund to employees who experience hard times

·     Worthwhile causes in local areas

·     Toys and gifts each year in hospital for the children and their families.

·     Homelessness crisis food provisions, swags and supplies

·     World greatest shave

·     Involvement in community groups junior

·     Community gardens and men’s sheds

·     Providing funds for less fortunate
