Pleasanton, California – Venture Sotheby’s International Realty, a top brokerage in California’s East Bay area, today announces that it is a brokerage partner with Giveback Homes. Giveback Homes recently celebrated five years of leading the real estate industry in philanthropic initiatives locally and internationally and will work directly with Venture Sotheby’s International Realty on projects to benefit their local community.
“At Venture Sotheby’s Realty serving our clients and the community is the heart of everything we do. Giveback Homes is a trusted organization with a history of delivering real and measurable benefit to families in need,” said Andrew Greenwell, Founding Partner and CEO of Venture Sotheby’s International Realty. “This new partnership allows us to formalize our commitment to affordable housing in our area and provides our agents with an effective way to make sure their donations are making the most impact possible.”

Donations will be allocated both local and international projects, directly benefitting people in the most need.
“I was lucky enough to be on the first Giveback Homes build trip to Nicaragua,” said Ryan Secrist, Managing Partner & Principal, Venture Sotheby’s International Realty. “That experience showed me the transformational power of building a home for someone else. I’m so glad that Venture Sotheby’s Realty will be a part of Giveback Homes’ initiatives both nationally and internationally.”
