SAHC’s Real Estate Partner Program

Our partnering real estate agents are in a unique position to help people connect with the places they call home by introducing them to our local land conservation efforts and active hiking/event program. There are many ways to ‘give back’ to your community as a Real Estate Partner — by giving a gift membership to SAHC to a new client, donating a percentage of commission as a tax-deductible charitable gift, contributing through “1% For the Planet”, and more!
