Keyes Partners with CARE School in Miami

The Keyes Company and KeyesCares delivered school supplies from our Miami office drive to CARE School students.

The first day of school brings excitement and enthusiasm for opportunities ahead, but for some, those emotions are tempered by the uncertainty of not having the materials needed to take full advantage. Many students at CARE School know this feeling. 

KeyesCares' mission is "to support the communities in which we work and live by strengthening the essential components of the infrastructure that contribute to quality of life - Education, Children, Healthcare, and Community." While each are important in their own right, being able to partner with organizations that promote the welfare of more than one of those pillars allows us to better make a lasting impact on our communities.

CARE School provides a nurturing learning environment to children primarily from the Overtown community in Miami. Several Keyes Associates and corporate employees are actively involved in ongoing support of the school and this summer championed a drive throughout Keyes' Miami-Dade offices to gather much needed supplies for the students at CARE School.

At the completion of the drive, Keyes Owner & Vice President Tim Pappas, along with his son Jason from the Sunset office, Frank DeValdivielso from Coral Gables, Rene Beal from Commercial Miami, and Linda Chin from Palmetto Bay (all pictured above), delivered the supplies to CARE on the first day of the new school year.

President of the CARE Board, Marty Steinberger commented, "The generosity of Keyes Realtors in providing school supplies again this year means so much to families at CARE. For each student in the school to be able to start the year with necessary items is deeply appreciated by the parents, students, and teachers...The smiling faces of the children as they received [their] bags spoke volumes."

Thank you to each of the Keyes family who donated their time & supplies to help make this drive such an incredible success!

The Keyes Company Continues Tradition of Giving Back

One of our corporate pillars is an involvement in and support of the communities in which we live and work. The first three months of 2018 allowed us to truly showcase the care that Keyes and our Realtors have for our neighbors. Whether cycling in the Dolphins Cancer Challenge, or rappelling down a Miami landmark, we took every chance to help affect change for the better in South Florida!

Keyes NextGen Q3 number are here, and they're looking good!

Q3 KNG update! The numbers are looking good, keep it up! 

This past quarter we've beat last year's numbers by 15% even with a hurricane in the middle of it. Jason Pappas provides his thoughts on this achievement:

"We are excited to once again see the growth of our Keyes Next Gen associates! Not even a hurricane could stop this group from beating last year’s quarter by over 15% not to mention already surpassing 2016’s total yearly volume.  Our next gen is our future and the Keyes Company believes that helping these under 40 associates succeed is not only necessary for our company, but also our community."

          - Jason Pappas

We are proud and appreciative of everyone's hard work this quarter to make this happen. Quality work lies within the people that make a company, and a company is only a strong as its employees. We are happy to have everyone that works for Keyes part of our family!

The Keyes Company’s Next Gen Group Partners with Move For Hunger!

The Keyes Company’s “Next Gen” group, which consists of Sales Associates under the age of 40, announces its new partnership with Move For Hunger, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and reducing food waste. Move For Hunger works with relocation companies and real estate professionals to collect nonperishable food items and deliver them to food banks across the country.

In 2009, Adam Lowy founded Move For Hunger. His family has owned a moving company for more than 90 years, and after years of seeing so much food wasted when people move, Lowy decided to take action. To date, the organization has collected more than 7.6 million pounds of food, equating to 6.3 million meals for those in need.

“We’re very excited to partner with an organization as great as Move For Hunger,” said Keyes Sales Associate Jason Pappas, who is spearheading the campaign. “This organization is making an incredible difference for our society, and we’re proud to support its efforts to help fight hunger.
