DONATE TO TOYS FOR TOTS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

We are excited to share that we have partnered with Toys for Tots to help make a difference in children’s lives this holiday season. Our branch offices in Seattle, Madison Park, Kirkland and Issaquah are each home to a drop site, where we are accepting unwrapped toy donations through December 11th. Since 1947, Toys for Tots has been bringing hope to youngsters with a gift to lift their spirits during this magical time of the year.

Children are an integral part of the future of our communities, and last year, Toys for Tots was proud to distribute 18 million toys throughout all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands.

The participating Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty (RSIR) locations are accepting donations in two ways:

  1. Drop off the unwrapped gift at our offices in Seattle, Madison Park, Kirkland or Issaquah.
  2. Contact your RSIR broker for a personal pick up!

Once our donations have been collected, they will be sent to community members who will sort the toys so they may be sent and distributed to children via welfare services, churches, and other local agencies before Christmas day.

We look forward to seeing you in the office as we do our best to make this season merry and bright!
