ne thing we know from being in real estate is that people are never just buying a home. You don’t go on a real estate website and search for the perfect little bungalow from Maine to California. You find a zip code, or a lake, or a “neck of the woods,” and go from there. And once you house-shop through two or three communities, those communities help you make a decision.

Your favorite house was right behind the strip mall with the nail place, remember? You could smell the acrylic through the dryer vent in the laundry room. The one you ended up buying didn’t have those charming arched doorways, but it had two lots and was walking distance from the coffee shop where that lady was so helpful with directions.

It ends up partly being the house of your dreams, and partly the feel and fit of the community.

We feel it, too.

Six years ago, one of our agents made a suggestion. He suggested that each agent give 1% of each and every one of his or her commissions back to our communities that have made us successful. Since then, each January the agents decide where to put their 1% for the year, and every quarter a check is drawn up and given away.

So far this little independent office has given our community more than $70,000.

Sometimes it’s been pretty scary. Realtors might go for months without a commission, but the bills keep coming in. They save when the market is strong and pray when it slows down. But not one has ever reneged on the 1% commitment – not a single agent, not since the first donation.

That does speak to the character and quality of these O’Brien Associates. But it also tells you something about where we live. We get so much. Giving back is part of the lifestyle here.

As you look through these pages, you’ll see what our passions are. We hope you find your next home here – not just four walls, but an open door to a wonderful part of the world. When you do, give us a call. We could use the commission – and we promise to use it wisely!

Eta Nu Sorority’s Dressed for Chill Several years ago, the agents at Pat O’Brien & Associates had a discussion regarding what we could do to help. Giving back 1% of each commission was one of the ideas that was suggested. “It wasn’t my idea, but I loved it. And as an owner, I couldn’t be more proud or supportive of our team and what we’ve been able to accomplish,” he said.

Pat O’Brien

Eta Nu’s Dressed for Chill program, which supplies winter outerwear for elementary school students each year, has taken a special place in the heart of Pat O’Brien & Associates.

“Dressed for Chill has a huge impact on kids in our district who just wouldn’t be able to afford the necessities of winter,” Pat said. “They provide gloves, coats, boots and hats for students that would otherwise more than likely go without.”

Pat O’Brien & Associates has been giving its third quarter donation to Eta Nu’s Dressed for Chill for four years now. Eta Nu always dropped off a jar for donations, asking the office to leave it on the counter for client donations.

When the donations process was eventually opened for agent vote, Dressed for Chill was high on the list.

What makes it so special? “The tears from the women at Eta Nu when we give them a check. It’s very moving.”

Better yet, warm fingers, toes and ears on the children who are our future.

Good Neighbor’s Food Pantry

Kathy is a behind-the-scenes kind of person – she doesn’t do things for the glory, but because it’s a privilege. It’s why she’s involved in the Good Neighbor’s Food Pantry of Boyne City. She does fund-raising, grant-writing, and she has cleaned the pantry weekly since it opened its doors in September, 2015.

She loves that the pantry is staffed by such a diverse group of more than 75 volunteers who have come together to do what they can to help out people in need. There are 300 families registered to date, with an average of about 50 families a week being served.

A unique thing about Good Neighbor’s is that it does a lot of “food rescue.”

Kathy Anderson

When the growing season is in full swing, Good Neighbor’s is able to procure fresh produce at the end of the week from the farmer’s markets, ensuring that their clients get local fruit, vegetables and meats.

About 30% of Charlevoix County’s schoolchildren are on free or reduced lunch programs, Kathy said. Good Neighbor’s helps fill in the gaps for those families as well as others who have an occasional or long-term need for a source of good, wholesome and fresh food.

JP Gerster

Boyne City’s Early Learner Program With JP, it’s personal. He’s a big fan of the Boyne City Early Learner’s Program, after having his seven-year-old complete it, his five-year-old near completion, and his two-year-old due to start in the fall.

“It provides a wonderful service for our children to get ready for school,” he said. And he should know – students who have gone through the program, run

by Mary Anne Stieber, are ready to learn to read, already knowing the alphabet and letter sounds.

The donations from Pat O’Brien & Associates have helped with supplies, among other things. “There is a cost,” JP said. “Our donations have helped families with tuition.”

And really, is there a better investment we can make than in our communities’ children?

The Harborage IN BOYNE CITY ON AMAZING LAKE CHARLEVOIX

A

s you drive or boat around Boyne City, one thing will stand out. The Harborage and Harborage Park development. It is just spectacular. Thoughtfully planned and exquisitely

maintained, you have probably noticed the pride of place that is evident in the bedecked Victorian-style homes that line the quiet streets in the Park, or the bright red of geraniums that dress up even the garages at the Harborage condominiums. The marina is beautifully maintained, and decidedly upscale, with easy access to showers and parks, swimming beaches and downtown entertainment. But it’s not just about entertaining yourself on the land – the slips were designed to get you easily out onto Lake Charlevoix, and from there – the world!

There is a chipping and putting green, beautiful tennis courts, and 2,500' of shared sandy frontage that is unmatched on Lake Charlevoix.

The Harborage, marina & Harborage Park.

It’s a way of life. It’s your way of life.

It’s time to come home.

Don Toffolo Michigan Dyslexia Institute

Don’s a reader. And his wife, Gail, is a teacher who specialized in instructing students with dyslexia. So he is drawn empathetically and personally to the Michigan Dyslexia Institute – particularly the Harbor Springs affiliate that serves Charlevoix, Emmet and Cheboygan counties.

“My wife’s involvement – being a teacher for the past 15 or 16 years – make me realize how many people are affected directly or indirectly by dyslexia,” Don said. He said because of governmental cut-backs there is a huge need for private donors to non-profit educational agencies.

Anne-Elise Mair, director of the Michigan Dyslexia Institute in Harbor Springs (the main office is in Lansing), said that unlike popular perception, dyslexia is not a matter of seeing letters in the wrong order or words backwards. The word “dyslexia” is borrowed from the Greek and means “difficulty with words.”

The symbol-sound relationship of letters does not come naturally to the student affected by dyslexia. The instructors work with students one on one, using a multi-sensory approach to teach them to read, write, spell and comprehend the English language.

Donations can be allocated for scholarships for education or screening, or can be general donations which will be used for operations. “Supplies – even keeping the lights on!” said Anne-Elise.

Don knows that the world of books is opening up for these students. That is eminently satisfying to him. And if you’ll excuse him, he’ll get back to the book

Jim pointed to a recent contribution that provided the Boyne City Little League with a new scoreboard.

“That wasn’t my idea. That’s not my thing, but I just dug it that we were going to do that, because I knew it would have such a big community impact,” Jim said. “I’m a strong believer that the fabric of a community is built on many generous actions.”

Charlevoix Area Humane Society

“I have had a passion for animals my entire life, and always feel there’s a need to help animals who haven’t found their forever home and a safe, loving place,” Martha said. So it’s a natural for her to make her contribution to the Charlevoix Area Humane Society – and find an excuse for some puppy-time while she’s at it.

The CAHS has a free spay and neuter program and a catch, spay or neuter and release program for feral cats, both of which Martha strongly supports. She said she wants to support programs that help reduce the number of homeless animals.

As with other charitable institutions, donors can give dedicated gifts for things that directly affect the animals – a dog-washing station, climber and scratch posts for the cats, bedding and food – or may give general donations that go toward

waterfront lots & land

keeping the facility staffed, clean and functioning.

Martha said donating to the Humane Society allows her to help when she can’t foster or house all the dogs and cats she’d like to.

And the environment of charitable giving at Pat O’Brien & Associates is part of what makes Martha love coming to work.

“It makes me want to be in our office because of genuine care and concern for others and being able to do something about that,” Martha said. “Love your job.

Love your community. Love putting them together!”

Little League Scoreboard

When the City of Boyne City began its waterfront redevelopment and decided to keep the Little League baseball diamond where it is, the timing was right for a new scoreboard.

“The scoreboard was in disrepair – sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t,” Brett said. “Little League is a wonderful local and national organization with over 50 years of history in Boyne City that promotes love of country, God, fair

play and always doing your best.”

Brett also has personal reasons for supporting a new scoreboard. “I have had the joy of coaching kids from t-ball to my son who is a graduating senior this year. I felt it was good for the community and good for the kids to have a new scoreboard.”

It’s just one more way those commissions can be put to work.

“When we began giving donations, I didn’t know how far it would go. It has grown into something bigger than I thought it would,” Brett admitted. “Seventy thousand dollars so far – it’s been amazing and I hope it will continue.”

boat slips Jane Booze Leading by Giving

It is an absolute pleasure to work with such generous, giving people. I love my co-workers – their commitment to sharing their success with our communities goes beyond quarterly donations. Everybody is involved in so many ways – sports, service organizations, church, school – it’s inspiring.

They share a belief that it’s not all about getting ahead. It’s also about neighbors, friends, family, strangers – you never know when you’re going to be the one who needs a hand. In the meantime, be the one who gives a hand.

It’s motivating to be around people who are steadfastly willing to be that one.

Hurray for the O’Brien team!

lots Gary Roberts Giving is Mentoring

Gary has spent much of his adult life volunteering on non-profits, mentoring young adults and participating in service clubs and church outreach. He believes that the act of giving is a learned way of thinking: “Giving is just like being in Rotary or Strive or serving on the Depot board or Crossroads or being a coach or a mentor. It’s a learned concept, and sometimes you don’t realize the true impact,” he said.

“I was excited about our gift to the Depot Jordan Valley Youth Center – but it didn’t really hit home until I saw the response from the board. The real gift is the appreciation of the receivers.”

Gary also said, “Hopefully my kids see that it is very normal to be a person that gives – and by the whole office doing it, it is no longer just us. Our gifts will go beyond the non-profits, because people will see it and be inspired to give.

“We are mentoring others to give. That’s how I see it. Why do we give back?

Because it’s what we should do.”

land Mark Snyder When Mark joined the team at Pat O’Brien & Associates a little over a year ago, he was already deeply invested in the culture of giving back. Being the director of sponsorship and fund-raising for Charlevoix Little League, Mark knew how important community, business and individual involvement is in raising money and in keeping youth sports alive.

Youth sports are Mark’s passion. In addition to Little League, he has also been active in the Charlevoix Gridiron Club, fund-raising and supporting football from Pop Warner to high school varsity.

“Sports gave me a lot, and I want to give back,” Mark said. As a parent and coach, Mark has seen the number of youth that face challenges in their lives, and as a former student athlete, Mark knows how important sports and school are to overcoming those challenges. His message is: “Sports and your grades. Nothing else is as important as long as you are in school.” He and his wife, Val, back that up financially and by giving of their time, as well as helping to organize successful fund-raising efforts.

So he was already fully committed to giving back.

“Coming to Pat O’Brien & Associates and learning what everyone here does – the discovery process for finding good projects, the deliberative process to decide who to support – this has been personally satisfying to me,” Mark said. “To see the individual commitment to the 1% - but also to see the individuals in this office coming together as a team – that is gratifying. It’s nice being part of that team.”

Christina believes that one of the advantages Pat O’Brien & Associates has is that it is an independent agency. Light on its feet, it can make pertinent, local decisions without getting prior approval from a remote corporate decision-maker.

“Because we’re independent and committed to our communities, we give a percentage back to those communities – not just Boyne City, but our county and tri-county,” Christina said. “Because what are we as Realtors without our communities?”

Christina’s passion is the youth. “We’re such a small, rural area that sometimes

kids don’t have the opportunities they would get in a larger city. It’s a challenge – so every little bit we can do for them is substantial.” Christina believes kids of all ages are potentially at risk without something to engage their interests; that they need something to do, someone to come alongside them, involved adults, and a variety of activities available.

“Day camps, after-school programs, all these non-profits and service groups and volunteers coming together to reach out and make a difference,” Christina said.

“That’s huge. And we get to be part of it.”

Sam Bowman As a new Realtor, Sam has joined the Pat O’Brien & Associates team after the 1% was already established. But as a young father entering a somewhat uncertain business, giving up a portion of something he hasn’t even earned yet fills him with excitement.

“I am excited about the opportunity to give back to the community, and about how far we are going to be able to go with this. It inspires me to do well in business,” Sam said, adding that he and his wife, Abigail, have charitable objectives of their own, and that the Pat O’Brien & Associates philosophy of giving fits their personal goals.

“It’s a blessing working in an office where others are like-minded on giving back to the community that gives so much to us,” Sam said.
