manor windsor realty’s team of agents has officially raised more than $130,000 for local charities and other organizations that struggle to find funding.
“it’s the groups that don’t get government funding, and those that don’t have anywhere else to go,” said broker/manager rob agnew. “and they’re slipping through the cracks. those are the types of groups we love to help.”
since 2018, agents with manor windsor realty have set aside money from each home sold during the year for local organizations and charities in need. every agent participates.
