REALTORS® AND ALL REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS TO ACTION Warren, MI – Sept 27 – Nationally known REALTOR®, author and speaker Ralph Roberts has launched www.Americans4Katrina.com to inspire and encourage real estate professionals to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. His goal is to have members of the real estate community donate a monthly portion of their commissions over the course of a year to help rebuild the homes and lives lost to Hurricane Katrina. The compelling photos on the site’s home page say more than words ever can about the devastating impact of the storm “We REALTORs® work with homeowners every day, and we know better than anyone how deeply the loss of a home can impact on a family. REALTORs® make up a huge national professional community with the resources to make a tremendous difference,” said Roberts, founder of Ralph Roberts Realty and author of many real estate and sales books. “I hope that every real estate professional will make this part of their agenda.” The fundamental idea behind the site is the power of community and time. If even a fraction of the 1.2 million REALTORS® in this country took $10 out of their commissions every month for a single year, more than $144 million could be raised to help the Americans afflicted by the storm to rebuild their lives. It’s not a lot of money for your average successful REALTOR® – and it would make a world of difference. Ralph Roberts is well-known throughout Detroit for his generosity on behalf of the needy and is involved in many local charities. He purchased Detroit’s famous “Big Nail,” an 11-foot, 250-pound nail that was formerly stuck in the big Uniroyal tire which he shares with any fundraising or community group who asks for a nail appearance, which they can do at www.bignail.com The website, which does not accept donations, directs visitors to websites for the Red Cross, The Salvation Army, the REALTORS® Relief Foundation and The Humane Society of the United States. There are many links to related pages concerning how to help victims of this devastating storm, including warnings on fundraising scams and more. The entire website was created and donated by Voyager 360, a Real Estate Marketing agency headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico and online at www.voyager360.com. “The concept behind www.Americans4Katrina.com is to ask a large community of people to give a regular donation over an extended period of time, creating an on-going source of funding so that when the victims are no longer on the front pages or in the nightly news, the work of rebuilding their lives can continue,” said Roberts. “We are asking real estate professionals for a one-shot deal. This is a gift that needs to keep giving long after the cameras have left.” Ralph Roberts, recognized by TIME Magazine as "the best-selling REALTOR® in America, is the owner of Ralph Roberts Realty and author of Walk Like a Giant, Sell Like a Madman, Real Wealth By Investing in Real Estate, 52 Weeks of Sales Success and Sell it Yourself. He has been the number one residential real estate agent for over a decade and is a popular motivational speaker.
