Nothing is more important to Coldwell Banker M.M. Parrish Realtors than our community. Our business IS our community. Although our Sales Associates come from many different backgrounds and many different walks of life, our Company is a family that is just a small part of this community we love! Although we're a small part, we have played a big role in helping make Gainesville and Alachua County one of the most desirable communities in the country!
Our Staff, Management and Sales Associates are proud to participate in hundreds of different volunteer programs, organizations, fundraisers and community events as individuals. As a Company, we are involved in many local charities and sponsor several local events every year.
Our Partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
In 2011, Coldwell Banker M.M. Parrish will continue our ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humaninty. With the help of other sponsor organizations, we are proud to help another deserving family find their way home.
The Parrish family has also donated a fully-platted 11 acres subdivision, Melton Manor, for the construction of future Habitat for Humanity homes.
In 2006, we participated in Coldwell Banker's national "100 Homes by Our 100th Anniversary" Campaign. Coldwell Banker and Habitat for Humanity set a goal to build one hundred homes by the end of 2006. M.M. Parrish is one of the 100 Companies countrywide that built a home as part of this program. Our house was built in Gainesville and went to a local family. This is one more way Coldwell Banker M.M. Parrish Realtors make the dream of homeownership a reality for area families.
Now, we've started saving for our next house! A portion of our commission from every closing goes toward this effort!
