Giving back is one of the core values at Long & Foster Real Estate. From donating gifts to Toys for Tots to raising awareness and funds for the American Heart Association, Long & Foster’s real estate agents and employees come together regularly to give back to the communities where they live, work and play.
The talented team also dedicates itself to bolstering the real estate industry and encouraging fellow agents – across all brokerages and the greater Richmond region – through active involvement in the local Realtor associations.
“I’m so proud of our agents and managers for their commitment to the real estate industry and their colleagues,” said Dawn Bradley, senior vice president and regional manager for Long & Foster’s Richmond region. “From serving on the local Association and MLS Boards to continuing education through exclusive leadership programs, our dedication to ensuring excellence for buyers, sellers and renters shines through in these efforts.”
