Homegrown Companies Build Communities

When you think of homegrown companies that give back to our local community, Nike is the predominant firm that has risen to great success, but has never forgotten its roots. We know that Nike gives and supports the Portland community at a far higher level than other large companies in similar sized cities such as Las Vegas, Baltimore, and Oklahoma City. 

At ELEETE Real Estate, while small, our homegrown firm makes the same effort per capita to give back to our beloved Portland community.  Through our three-year title commitment to Milltown Soccer supporting a combined 1,700 players year-round, along with being the 2015 title sponsor of Cedar Mill Little League, we believe in making our city a better place.

Presently we have brokers contributing either as a board member or committee member on the following organizations: CASA, Project Lemonade, Boy Scout Troop 150, Ainsworth Foundation, Findley Elementary, Oregon Chamber Orchestra, Salvation Army, Middleman Jewish Community Center, BBMC (B’nai B’rith Men’s Camping Association), Candlelighters for Children with Cancer, Ladybug CDH Foundation, Native American Art Council at the Portland Art Museum, and The Portland Pearl Rotary. 

Additionally, we regularly provide our moving trucks to non-profit communities and have financially supported Sunset Youth Lacrosse, Sunset Football, Sunset Ski Team, Jesuit HS, St. Pius School, Westview Men’s Basketball, Wilson Football, Montessori School of Beaverton, A Child’s Way Preschool, West TV Elementary, Bonny Slope Elementary, St. Thomas More, Valley Catholic HS, Lincoln HS, French American school, Catlin Gabel School, Oregon Ballet Theater, The Dougy Center, United Soccer Club, Angels in the Outfield, Providence Orthopedic & Fracture, and more.

This Saturday our brokers will be bell ringers to raise money for the Salvation Army at Bales Thriftway, Bethany QFC, West Hills QFC, Raleigh Hills Safeway, and Market of Choice. 

So the next time a friend of yours suggests they are considering working with one of the national firms, we would appreciate if you might remind them that while Re/Max is headquartered in Denver, Co.; Keller Williams in Austin, Tx; Coldwell Banker in Parisippany, NJ; Berkshire Hathaway in Omaha, NE;  and both John L. Scott and Windermere are based in Seattle… ELEETE Real Estate is not only homegrown here in Portland, but we work every day to make our community a better place.
