I first heard of the charitable organization Give Back Homes when one of its co-founders, Caroline Pinal , spoke about social responsibility at the INMAN real estate and technology conference in 2015 in NYC. Their goal is to create social change through the act of buying and selling homes. Everything she said on the stage resonated with me and I knew we had to be a part of this movement.

Being in real estate, I appreciate seeing the joy on my clients’ faces when they close on their dream property. That’s one of the reasons I love what I do – helping families put down roots and start new chapters of their lives.

Being part of a charity that helps a family in need experience that same joy, is something that I am proud to be a part of. Giveback Homes encourages real estate professionals to “dig deeper” and make that commitment to help families by funding and helping motivate volunteer homebuilders to create safe, inviting homes for some who have never known that before.

Contributing regularly through our business helps ground our team and reminds us to remember those to whom a home is not a given. When you choose The Gosselin Group to partner with, a portion of the proceeds from every closing goes to build a home for a family in need – not only in the U.S., but all across the world.

In 2016, together with our clients, our team contributed to Haiti Relief to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. In 2017, the organization ambitiously raised funds to build projects across the North and Central America, which we supported.

Habitat of Greater Newark has completed nearly 100 homes in Newark and other communities in Essex County. Hardworking, qualified Partner Families make a “sweat equity” down payment of up to 200 hours of labor.

Proceeds from every home we sell in 2018 will go towards our Newark Build project. We are 51% to our fundraising goal! Click here to donate and be part of this!
