On Saturday, February 11th, colleagues from the Douglas Elliman Coconut Grove & Brickell offices teamed up to sponsor a team build for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami’s Annual Blitz Build 2017. Habitat for Humanity’s Blitz Build is an annual event in Miami (Homestead) wherein 10 houses are built from the ground up in only 2 weeks for qualified, low-income, first-time home buyers.

Our Team Build, led by my amazing wife Jaimee and myself, included construction on house #10, where all of us, with the exception of myself, had no experience in construction but worked very hard to pitch in wherever we could including structural framing and the installation of all windows.

The most rewarding part of volunteering for Habitat for Humanity is that you directly affect a family’s life. This year, our team build helped a hard-working mother own her very first home for her and her 10-year-old son! Those not familiar with how Habitat works…in order to qualify to be a Habitat homeowner, a family must be first-time home buyers and qualify under the Habitat standards.

The Miami Luxury Homes Group at Douglas Elliman is humbled to have had the opportunity to contribute to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami because it is truly a remarkable organization and it is vital to our community to give back. So, if you are interested, I highly recommend you learn more about Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami and volunteer throughout the year or for the Blitz Build in 2018!

Last week, Miami Luxury Homes teamed up with Exclusive Title Company to co-sponsor a team build for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami. Our team build took place at a house in Liberty City which will be sold with 0% interest financing to a deserving, low-income family when completed—very soon. Although every team build is different as far as the tasks, for this team build I assisted with the roofing of the house since I have experience as a former contractor, and the rest of the team completed the entire front and back yard of landscaping including laying all of the sod and planting all the trees and flowers. It was a fun day filled with hard work, but was very rewarding.

Miami Luxury Homes is very excited to be continued sponsors of Habitat for Humanity in Miami because it is such a remarkable organization and allows us to help people in our community that are less fortunate but deserve to have a place to call home!

Miami Luxury Homes is a continued sponsor of Habitat for Humanity in Miami because it is such an amazing organization helping well-deserved, low-income families own their very own home. Another great event, with all proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami, is just around the corner. On Thursday, May 7, 2015, Brother Jimmy’s BBQ in Brickell will be hosting a Karaoke/Happy Hour complete with a raffle for great prizes. So, please come out and join us for a fun event while supporting those in our community!
