Climb Real Estate Donates To AIDS Research, Cancer Research, Music Education

Wednesday, June 25th, 2014


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2014

Climb Real Estate Group has announced its sponsorship for three fundraising efforts spearheaded by its real estate agents: 2014 AIDS/LifeCycle, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and the Blue Bear School of Music.

Climb Sales Associate Evan Bliss rode in this years AIDS/LifeCycle event, a 7-day bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Both Climb Real Estate and many of Climbs agents supported Blisss team with donations, and his team wore Climbs logo. This was Blisss third year participating in the event, which ran June 1st through 7th.

AIDS/LifeCycle raises more money in the fight against AIDS than any other annual event and funds life-saving programs and services at two of the nations largest HIV/AIDS organizations, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.

This is an event which is very close to my heart. I look forward to it every year, as I love to ride with my team and help in this fight against HIV and AIDS, said Bliss. I ride for those we have lost and to help those who are currently dealing with this disease. Hopefully one day we will find a cure and we will no longer need to ride.

Senior Sales Associate Tom Watson competed in this years Leukemia and Lymphoma Societys Man of the Year contest, which finished June 7th. The campaign is a fundraising competition in communities across the U.S. in which participants vie for the title of Man or Woman of the Year. Participants raise funds for blood cancer research. The titles are awarded to the men and women in each community who raise the most funds during the ten-week campaign; the top local fundraisers in the country also win the national titles.

As Ive watched my business grow and have enjoyed continued success, I felt it was important to find a way to participate in something significant, said Watson. The work that the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is doing is incredible. Theyre changing lives every day through funding research and supporting families fighting all forms of blood cancer. Ive had the pleasure of meeting this years Boy and Girl of the year, Roman and Aubrey (each 5 years old), and these kids are amazing. Theyre battling leukemia, and its a true joy to watch them acting goofy, having fun, and just being kids. Its heartwarming to be a part of an organization thats making a difference in peoples lives from coast to coast. Climb Real Estate donated to Tom Watsons campaign, and Climb agents donated personally as well.

Climb Top Producer Joshua Lawrence is a supporter of the Blue Bear School of Music, a San Francisco school for rock, blues, jazz, folk, and pop music. Climb Real Estate donated to the schools annual Blue Bear Benefit concert in May, which provides crucial funding for the schools nonprofit mission and music education programs that enrich the lives of more than 800 Bay Area youth, including hundreds of children from low-income families and at-risk communities in the Tenderloin and Bayview Hunters Point. The event included performances by The Jackie Greene Band and the schools childrens bands, including a song where students were invited to join Jackie onstage for a joint performance.

Lawrence was on the fundraising committee for the event, and said, Community support is crucial in helping Blue Bear provide excellent music programs, both at Blue Bear and through outreach to the Bay Area community. I am truly proud of Blue Bears 43-year legacy and continued growth. Playing music changes lives. Supporting Blue Bear is crucial in helping provide excellent music programs for the citys youth and I am proud to be a part of their efforts.

Climb Real Estate regularly donates to charities, supports community events, and volunteers for local nonprofits. Previous philanthropy has included Habitat for Humanity, the SF Food Bank, DIFFAs Dining by Design, the Gay-Straight Alliance Network, EARN (Earned Assets Resource Network), Jordan International Aid, and more.

Here at Climb Real Estate Group, we are always generously donating in the communities we serve, said Managing Broker Tiffany Combs. We have a longstanding commitment to our philanthropic causes that help our clients, neighborhoods, and agents.

Sold Home Improvements in the Twin Cities Housing Market are Dominated by the Top Price Bracket

Tuesday, June 24th, 2014


Minneapolis, Twin Cities Minnesota (PRWEB) June 20, 2014

Improvements in the number of sold homes within the Twin Cities housing market are found in the top 1 percent price bracket, according to news from Redfin. Mirroring the growing wealth gap in the United States, the metro is a picture of shifts in homeownership wealth. Individuals who are unencumbered with needs for a financial institution’s backing in order to make a real estate purchase are buying more homes.

We see a very active segment of upper-bracket home buyers making pricy purchases for luxury homes in prime locations, says Jenna Thuening, owner of Home Destination. More Twin Cities homes are selling in the upper tier than in any other segment and that is a boost for every housing segment.

Redfin, a national real estate brokerage, released a special report May 27th, titled “2014 Luxury Report: Sales of Priciest 1% of Homes Climb While Rest of Home Sales Still Down”. Across the Twin Cities residential real estate market home sales in quarter 1 of 2014 dipped from the number of sold homes in 2013. The stunning exception is found among luxury home sellers at the very tip of the market. Closed home sales of the top 1 percent exorbitantly priced homes reached heights of a 21.1 percent increase within the first 4 months, added to a gain of 35.7 percent in 2013. in the remaining 99 percent of the Minneapolis – St. Paul housing market, home sales are reduced by 7.6 percent so far in 2014.

The top tier of the Twin Cities housing market is showing stronger improvements than any other segment. with pending sales up 13 percent from a year ago for the $ 1 million-plus homes, according to the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors (MMAR).

Little has changed the three words as the most important criteria for buying and selling a home: location, location, location. Whatever price bracket the home falls in, ultimately the location of the home will have the greatest impact on its value on the market. A large, luxurious home that is located unfavorabley may find it cannot sell in the same manner as comparble homes of size in a prime spot. “Whether the buyers intent is to make a short term buy and sell or hold for a longer time frame, location is the most important factor to cogitate”, says Thuening.

If you are selling your Twin Cities home and are not in the top 1 percent, there is still some good news. “The news is not all bad,” according to Herb Tousley, director of real estate programs at the university. “The inventory of homes for sale has increased, the number of new listings has increased sharply, and the percentage of distressed sales and new foreclosures continues to fall”. Researchers at the universitys Shenehon Center for Real Estate remain fair and objective in their Real Estate Matters reporting, covering factors that reflect real data that both buyers and sellers depend on for insightful news.

“The budget luxury buyer could look to Atlanta ($ 861,000), Minneapolis ($ 881,000) or Raleigh ($ 815,000), where access to the top 1 percent of the market can be purchased for six figures rather than seven,” states the Redfin report.

For more information, please contact Home Destination at 612-396-7832. Given how fast homes are selling and that luxury homes in prime Twin Cities locations frequently have multiple bids, gaining the keys may require a strong advocate.
