Our Hurricane Harvey Relief Story

Our team had the opportunity to show our true colors recently. Here’s what we experienced down in Houston.

On my latest appearance on “Your Carolina With Jack & Megan,” I talked a little bit about the whirlwind of a week that my team and I just went through. 

As you know, the destruction and devastation caused by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma was intense. Our team was originally scheduled to head down to Austin for a big event with thousands of other Keller Williams agents. In the wake of the recent events, a decision was made to forgo our retreat in favor of heading down to Houston to provide aid to those who were affected by the storms.

Thousands of other agents joined us and the experience was incredible. We had a crew of about 10 with us that traveled from Austin to Houston going door to door helping homeowners. Most of their houses were underwater at some point, so we had to work quickly to remove all of the drywall before it got moldy.

We’re happy to play some small part in the recovery.

We visited a condo complex that had hundreds of units that were flooded and none of the people we spoke with had flood insurance. It just goes to show that even if you aren’t in a flood zone, taking on the relatively inexpensive cost of flood insurance is a wise move.

We were happy to be able to help in some small way, but there are people who still need our help. Right now, Keller Williams is on a mission to raise $20 million. Our local goal is $30,000 and we’re already well on our way to reaching it. Please reach out to us if you'd like to contribute toward our goal.

If you have any questions for me about the real estate market in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
