Surterre Properties, supporting the local community is just as important as supporting home buyers and sellers – an enduring company philosophy that was further evidenced in 2012 by the abundance of charitable contributions given by Surterre staff and agents.

A leading, full-service residential real estate firm in Southern California, Surterre Properties has made philanthropy a top priority since the company’s inception six years ago.

“It’s one thing to strive to be a leader in the real estate market,” said Paula An-

sara-Wilhelm, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Surterre. “It’s another to strive to be a leader when it comes to helping the communities we serve, and in everything we do – whether hosting eWaste and document shredding events and blood drives, or outfitting all of our offices with sustainable furniture and décor – Surterre staff and agents are committed to making a difference.”

One of the values Surterre was founded upon is community service, and it is one that has resonated within the company.

As such, a wide variety of charitable programs
