100th Home Sale Charity Spotlight: Honoring the Power of Support

CHATHAM, November 24th, 2023 — The Sue Adler Team of Keller Williams Realty donated a total of $10,000 to support organizations dedicated to the growth and advocacy of our communities! This year, the Sue Adler Team was honored and humbled to present these checks during their yearly VIP Client Appreciation Pie Day event, which was held at their Chatham office on November 24th.

Part of the Sue Adler Team’s EDGE is giving back to the communities in which it serves. As Sue Adler, CEO, always says, “money is only good for the good it can do!” With that in mind, the team launched its 100th Home Sale Charity Program in 2016 as a way to celebrate an exciting business milestone and pay it forward in a meaningful way.

“This means a lot,” said Andrea Smith, Director of Corporate Partnerships of Summit Health Cares. “This kind of support will help us to make a big impact in the community.”

Each year, as the team closes on its 100th home sale, they donate the commission to surrounding charities and organizations. To highlight the passion, benevolence, and impact that these organizations contribute to the community, and society at large, we have outlined their missions and ways to support these causes:
