Maxwell Property Management has donated $5,000 to Shelters of Saratoga (SOS) and Code Blue.
Maxwell Herrick, owner of Maxwell Property Management, and his office administrator, Cherrie Van Derburg, decided to do something to give back to the community as part of Maxwell’s year-long 25th anniversary celebration.
The previous fall, they committed to donating 10 percent of all new broker’s commissions.
The company provides consulting services and works with owners and their attorneys to convert properties into valuable investments for clients. Maxwell Property also manages multi-unit properties and turns “distressed” units into attractive rentals. They average about 300 leases per year.
“We act as the firewall between the landlord and the tenant,” said Herrick, adding that he represents landlord’s interests and manages properties “the way I would my own.”
“We’re all about housing. What better way to show our support of the community than to give back to an organization like SOS? This is our clear support of the Code Blue project and its future,” he said.
Herrick said the money will go directly to help the Code Blue program, which provides shelter to the homeless when temperatures drop to freezing.
