Brian Sloan

My name is Brian Sloan and I am the President, Owner and Managing Broker at Donation Realty.

When people learn of Donation Realty, one of the first things they usually ask is what made me decide to start a real estate company that donates a high percentage of its profits to local charities and organizations.

It's very personal for me. I have an amazing teenage daughter who just happens to be on the autism spectrum and I have been active in the not-for-profit world for many years. I have seen firsthand the financial difficulties many of our social service agencies face on a day-to-day basis. In fact, many have had to close their doors and abandon those they served. And it's not limited to them; many of our schools, libraries, hospitals, museums, etc. are also having a hard time making ends meet.

Having been in the mortgage and real estate industries since 1986 - and being aware of the large profits they generate - it occurred to me that I could start a company that would donate a high percentage of its profits to needy causes and still provide its clients with wonderful service and products. As the idea percolated in my mind, I came to realize that the best and fairest way to distribute those funds would be to let our clients decide who receives the money, so long as it is an IRS-approved 501c-3 charity or tax-exempt organization.
