OUR WHY

We are driven by a simple idea. Better companies make better communities. We believe our business has a responsibility to serve, connect, grow and protect the communities we work in.

Homeownership is a decision to invest in a place you love. We also believe in investing in the place where we live. For every dollar we make from the business of buying and selling homes, we give back a portion to local organizations working to create positive change in our communities.

We believe that during the toughest times it is our duty to step up and support the most vulnerable among us. That’s why we support local organizations like Second Harvest, Santa Cruz Community Health and Meals on Wheels

We believe everyone should have access to economic opportunity, education and healthcare. That’s why we support local organizations like African American Community Service, Fresh Lifelines for Youth and El Pajaro Community Development

We believe that Arts and Culture make a significant contribution towards environmental sustainability. That’s why we support local organizations like Groundswell Ecology, Youth in Wilderness and Upwell Turtles

We believe everyone should have access to clean air and water, live free from hunger and have a safe place to call home. That’s why we support local organizations like Loaves and Fishes, Habitat for Humanity and Momentum for Mental Health

We believe that a small group of thoughtful individuals can change the world. We also believe that it’s possible for a for-profit company to have a soul that measures its progress by the new and creative ways it finds to give back.
