To kick off 2023 on a high note, we’d like to shine a light on our core values.
What makes a neighborhood, town, or city a true community? At PureWest Real Estate, we think it’s relationships that count for the most. It’s the bonds that emerge from the commitment of working towards a better future for everybody. At PureWest, we build relationships for life. Our 18 locations across Montana, as well as our global affiliations, are built on this value.
For our agents, that means devoting their time and resources to important local causes. PureWest agents are deeply woven into their communities, and they meet need wherever they see it, whether it’s coaching youth sports, serving on volunteer boards, or supporting non-profit work. We know that our towns and cities are strongest when we tend to those relationships in need of care.
Our Spirit Award acknowledges agents who went above and beyond the PureWest commitment to relationships last year. They are recognized in their offices for their willingness to help their colleagues, staff members, community, and neighbors. These individuals are true team players. They jump at the opportunity to assist those around them.
Each winning agent has selected a non-profit organization to receive a donation from PureWest. The 13 agents chose to support children and seniors; basic necessities and the arts; animals and families. The wide range of causes speaks to the many ways our agents are involved in their communities.
We are proud to spread the word about these non-profits and their excellent work!
