 Original Content by Carl Johnson SCROLL DOWN FOR HOW YOU CAN DONATE BY 5PM NOV 26TH We in North Carolina work hard, play harder, and love on others, the most! When NC REALTORS® heard there was a need for aid and help to our friends and families affected by Hurricane Helene, we saw REALTORS® & people all over the state jump into action. Carl Johnson Real Estate is an active member of NC REALTORS®, Durham Regional Association of REALTORS® & Orange Chatham Association of REALTORS® and saw first hand the efforts put forth (and still occurring!) by our fellow Real Estate Agents and Associations. To learn how Real Estate Agents are more than just someone to help you buy and sell a home, read this article below. You will see how Realtors® are hard working members of the communities in which they live. NC REALTORS® have invested effort and time to help in any way they can for those affected by Hurricane Helene and they will continue to be there for their community. The NC REALTORS® website is a great place to start, www.ncrealtors.org/. Here you can find a great list of resources from up to date road way information, sites to donate directly to credited organizations helping with Helene victims, and even links to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation website to request aid for those seeking housing needs. The NC REALTORS® have helped to make it easy to stay informed as new information and resources become available to get it to the hands of those who need it the most. Recently you can find members of NC REALTORS® on the ground, where they are able to offer physical help in addition to their financial help and expertise. No task is too small for any REALTOR®. As stated on the NC REALTORS® website, “NC HUD Secretary Adrianne Todman visited the Winston-Salem Regional REALTORS® Association to show her support for Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Secretary Todman joined local REALTORS® and volunteers in loading essential supplies for communities affected by the storm. Also present were NC REALTORS® CEO Andrea Bushnell, 2024 NC REALTORS® President Tony Harrington, and 2024 NC REALTORS® President-Elect John McPherson. Volunteers from various REALTOR® associations including Durham Regional Association of REALTORS® & Orange Chatham Association of REALTORS® and across North Carolina have been actively engaged in these relief efforts, showcasing the collective commitment of the real estate community to support those in need” (NC HUD Secretary Adrianne Todman Visits Winston-Salem Regional Association of REALTORS® to Support Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts - NC REALTORS®.)  NC REALTORS® members have been involved with numerous donation drives and fundraisers throughout the state. Each local branch has stepped up to help!
