REALTORS® Ring the Bell! REALTORS® throughout the nation are making sure they are heard. But, not how you might expect. Taking time out of their work day, REALTORS® from twelve states participated in a national bell ringing event for the Salvation Army on Friday (December 9th). Recognizing that most charitable organizations are trying to fill a growing need in our community while the volunteer pool shrinks, REALTORS® from the Hawaii Association of REALTORS® stepped up to help with the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Fund. On a local level, agents from Hawaii Island REALTORS® and the West Hawaii Association of REALTORS® participated in the event. Over 53 agents rang bells at 14 locations island wide. When asked about her experience at the event, Rochelle Augustin, REALTOR® at Clark Realty Hilo said, "It was great! There were lots of dollar bills and my bucket was filling up. The community appreciation & support to the cause was heart warming." Other volunteers echoed her comments. REALTOR® Jared Gates, of Big Island Land Company, said, "It was surprisingly rewarding with lots of smiles, appreciation, and generosity from our community" and REALTOR® Pat Halpern, of Hawaiian Island Homes, shared, "I think I got more than I gave and now have a whole new appreciation for the folks who do this every year. It was very heartwarming to have so many people give when we are all feeling these tough times." The donations from the Red Kettle Fund Help Feed hungry families, provide presents for children in need, heat the homes of struggling senior citizens, and bless millions in need.

Record Turnout for REALTOR® Raise: Project Playhouse Home ownership really does matter! That message was clear as hundreds of people turned out for the Hawaii Island Board of REALTORS® first ever REALTOR® RAISE: Project Playhouse. In a grand event at the Prince Kuhio Plaza four amazing playhouses were "sold" to four lucky winners on Saturday, November 19th. Built by Prudential Orchid Isle Properties, Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers, Coldwell Banker Day-Lum Properties, and by HIBR and Hilo Habitat for Humanity President, Julie Hugo, this event was a first step towards HIBR's mission of building a home for Habitat for Humanity. "Each Project Playhouse was amazing and the turnout was awesome", said Prince Kuhio Plaza General Manager Kimberly Shimabuku. HIBR's Public Relations Committee Chair, Mealoha Kraus said, "I was overwhelmed by the number of people who came and waited for their turn to see if they had the right key. We estimate that we have raised almost $5,000 for Habitat for Humanity and are grateful to everyone for their donations to this worthy cause." While this was all about raising money to make someone's REAL homeownership dreams a reality, a little competition never hurts to keep things lively. From use of Recycled Materials to Creativity these mini-homes were judged from head to toe. Prudential Orchid Isle Properties Smurf House came out on top with the Best Overall, Most Creative, and People's Choice Award while Julie Hugo's President's Woodie Playhouse took home the Green Award. Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers' Boat Playhouse won second place overall, while Coldwell Banker Day-Lum Properties' Plantation Hale took home the third place award. Stay tuned for details on REALTOR® RAISE: Project Playhouse 2012!
