In September of 2005 I sat and listened to a high school basketball parent orientation given at Mountain View High School in Bend by Coach Reid. I came away from the meeting, perhaps like many basketball parents, disappointed with the funding the basketball team receives each year. And while I understand the budget crunch our school district is facing, I, nevertheless, wondered how I might help fund a program that Coach Reid has built. I beleive that a coach should coach....not worry about how the team will get to a game without enough money for buses. Don't you? Well, I have decided that I can help by offering a direct donation from my personal commissions in my business. Here is the program I am dedicated to. I am offering all MVHS parents with basketball boys in grade 9-12 ( and to parents of COBO Players) a guarantee. If you are a parent and you have decided to sell or purchase a new home, second property or commercial property....at the close of a transaction (when you have listed your home with me or purchased a home using me as your buyers representative) I will contribute IN YOUR NAME a full 10% of my net real estate commisssion to the Mountain View High School Basketball Team! We could easily contribute well over $10,000 to the program with just ten transactions of sales or purchases! Our MVHS Basketball Boys are part of a class program. Imagine.....we could help make this program the very best....and we can help. Now, I wouldn't expect anyone to list or purchase using my real estate services only because of this program....but I beleive the real estate services I offer are of value to you. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to explain my 10% program and show you how our EXIT REALTY BEND World-Class Service can work for you! No obligation and no pressure. Please feel free to give me a call at 541-480-8835 or email me at mazz@propertiesinbend.com. I look forward to speaking to you and to help our basketball boys at Mountain View High School.
