RealSource Members Give Back to the Community

The RealSource Association of Realtors would like to thank everyone that gave their time, services and monetary donations to support our Rebuilding Together Project on April 26, 2014.  We were able, with the help of our sponsors & volunteers, to make needed improvements/repairs in the home of a family in Mahwah that was not able to complete the repairs on their own. The project was a huge success. 

 

Thank you to all of our sponsors:
