The OMDREB Board and their real estate members are very proud to support the REALTORS® Care Foundation through on-going donations. In 2008, OMDREB also participated in the REALTORS Care™ Foundation, Every REALTOR® Campaign. On behalf of all OMDREB Members, a donation of 1 dollar per Member per month for 12 months was donated. This was a significant donation on the Board’s behalf and we are so pleased that our community will be reaping the benefit of our support.
The REALTORS® of the Oakville, Milton and District Real Estate Board are committed to making a real difference in the community and in the lives of those who do not have the comfort, warmth or safety of their own homes.
