Local Realtor Group to Repair Several Homes for Community Options in Delran, NJ

PRINCETON, NJ – Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Fox & Roach Realtors and Community Options are partnering to repair several Community Options’ homes in Delran, NJ on Thursday, October 6 at 8:30 a.m.

30 realtors from the Marlton office of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Fox & Roach Realtors will paint all interior walls, ceilings, doors and trim them as well. They’ll also perform yard work such as raking, bundling limbs and planting mums. The few who cannot attend will donate plants and provide lunch.

Prior to teaming up on this project, Community Options already had a relationship with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Fox & Roach Realtors. In 2014, Community Options’ Executive Director of Burlington County Maddie Lobban worked with a Fox & Roach realtor and purchased two homes. Berkshire Hathaway does a community service project every year and when they were looking for someone to team up with a month ago; Community Options came to mind immediately.

“As realtors, we assist clients in their housing needs every day,” said Suzanne Lehman of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Fox & Roach Realtors. “Partnering with Community Options for our Annual Community Service Day is a great opportunity for us to give back to an organization that provides housing for those less fortunate.”

Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Fox & Roach Realtors’ charitable, Fox & Roach Charities, started in 1995. Since then, they have donated $5.2 million to 250 local nonprofits supporting such things as the construction of playgrounds, technology in schools, food banks, programs that help underprivileged kids, abuse victims and many more.
