In the market to refinance or buy a home? You can help, too!
Mortgage Pledge is a network of real estate professionals who are committed to working with one another to enhance their businesses and communities by giving back to their clients' charities of choice during the real estate transaction. If you choose one of the members of the Mortgage Pledge network for your refinancing or purchasing purposes, they will donate a portion of their fees to the charity of your choice at no extra cost to you. The minimum donation the company will donate is $300 in your name per refinance or purchase transaction. You get a free donation in your name, each non-profit gets 100% of the pledge, each community gets added social and economic value, and each real estate professional who participates gets rewarded with new business from the Mortgage Pledge network and their community. Giving has never been so easy.
