Giving the Gift of Warmth for Winter

In the fall, the Ocean City Board of Realtors® held a drive to collect coats, gloves, blankets, sweaters, and more for the Ocean City Ecumenical Clothes Closet. The Clothes Closet first opened in 1994 with a mission is to give free seasonal clothing to those in need in Ocean City. Since then, they have distributed more than 20,000 pieces of clothing each year.

In December, Greater Bergen Realtors® Care Foundation and the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service donated funds to 36 non-profit organizations in northern New Jersey. This was made possible by the fundraising efforts of the Greater Bergen Realtors® Care Foundation, who has awarded close to $1 million since its inception in 2015.

CORE Celebrates 100 Years

The CORE Association of Realtors® celebrated their centennial this year. They were founded just three years after the state association in 1921 when there were more renters than homeowners in New Jersey. Originally known as the Trenton Real Estate Board, they helped advocate for real estate license laws in New Jersey, which passed just two months after they were established. Congratulations CORE!
