Volunteer for a happier, healthier you

Volunteer Lady

Volunteering not only uplifts our community but also enhances our own well-being. Engaging in volunteer activities can lead to improved mental and physical health, lower blood pressure, and increased happiness. When we volunteer, our brains release feel-good chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, resulting in a "helper's high" that boosts self-esteem and reduces anxiety. In essence, dedicating time to help others not only makes a positive impact on the community but also enriches our own lives, fostering a sense of purpose and connection. Read More

Hunger is a reality for many individuals and families, even in areas that seem to thrive. The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano has been a lifeline for our community for over four decades, distributing millions of pounds of food annually to those in need.

Why Michael is Paying It Forward


We have chosen to donate a portion of our sales to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of my father, who bravely battled the illness for eight years before passing away in 2008. Witnessing firsthand how the disease not only affects the individual but deeply impacts the entire family, especially caregivers, we recognize the critical need for more research and early interventions. Grateful for the invaluable support and resources provided by the Alzheimer's Association during my father's journey, we are committed to giving back and aiding others facing similar challenges. So if you know someone looking to buy or sell real estate, please have them call us at 925-351-4924.
