The arrival of spring in Central Vermont brings more than just budding trees and the return of the sunshine; it marks the launch of one of our most cherished traditions at Green Light Real Estate. We are thrilled to announce the return of our annual Give Back Campaign, an initiative that allows us to turn local real estate success into direct support for our neighborhood schools.
Our Track Record of Impact
For us, this isn’t just a new project—it’s a commitment we’ve honored for years. Over the past three years, we have been honored to donate over $10,000 to local Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs). These funds go directly toward enriching the educational experiences of our children, supporting teachers, and funding the programs that make our local schools thrive. This year, we’ve set our sights higher than ever, aiming to shatter previous records and provide even more substantial support to the backbone of our community: our schools.
How the Campaign Works
The Give Back Campaign runs from April 1st through June 30th. The mechanics are simple but powerful: for every home listed with Green Light Real Estate within the district of a participating school, we make a donation directly to that school’s parent-teacher organization.
We are proud to continue our partnership with our long-standing participants:
-
Montpelier Roxbury Public Schools PIE
-
Northfield Elementary PTNO
-
Barre Town MES PTO
-
Barre City EMS PTO
We are also incredibly excited to expand our reach this year by adding three new partners to the roster: Rumney Elementary PTO, the Montessori School of Central Vermont, Brookfield Elementary PTO.
Why We Give Back
At Green Light Real Estate, "community" isn't just a buzzword; it’s our identity. Our agents aren't just professionals; they are neighbors who live, work, and raise their own families right here in Central Vermont. We believe in pouring back into the community that supports us every day.
The initiative was born from the vision of our principal broker, Ray Mikus, whose background in education deeply influenced his approach to business. As Ray puts it:
“At Green Light Real Estate, we fully understand that a real estate transaction is more than just getting people into homes; it’s about investing in the communities we all live in and building those communities together.”
How You Can Get Involved
You don’t need to be a real estate expert to help us make a difference. There are two primary ways to participate:
-
List Your Property: If you are planning to sell your home this spring, choose Green Light Real Estate. We would love to provide you with a comprehensive home valuation and a listing consultation. By choosing us, you ensure that your home sale contributes to the local school of your choice.
-
Spread the Word: You don’t need to be moving to help! Share this campaign with friends, family, and neighbors. A simple recommendation can lead to a donation that benefits hundreds of local students.
As the most loved and professional real estate brokerage in Vermont, our goal remains clear: to provide an exceptional experience for every buyer and seller while strengthening the community we call home. Let’s make this spring our biggest season of giving yet!
