Home Sales That Give Back: Our Journey With the Alzheimer’s Association Walk

Why We Walk: A Cause Close to Our Hearts

At Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty, we don’t just work in real estate—we walk in purpose. For us, every property sold is more than a closing—it’s a contribution. That’s why we proudly support the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, and it’s a cause rooted in something very personal.

Our team has felt the heartbreaking effects of dementia firsthand. Over seven years, one of our founders, Hal Blake, was the sole caregiver for his mother during her battle with Alzheimer’s. When she passed away in 2021, the experience shaped the heart of our business. What started as a personal loss became a team mission: to give back, raise awareness, and offer hope.

From Real Estate to Real Impact

We believe real estate can—and should—make a difference beyond property lines. That’s why we’ve embedded giving into our business model. A portion of every commission earned at YHSGR is donated to the Alzheimer’s Association, funding research, resources, and support systems for families like ours.

It’s simple: every home sale helps fuel the fight against Alzheimer’s. When our clients work with us, they’re not just reaching a financial goal—they’re joining a movement that brings relief, progress, and advocacy to millions impacted by memory loss.

Participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s

Each year, our team laces up their sneakers, pins on purple flowers, and joins thousands of others at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We walk with photos of loved ones, with stories on our lips, and with hope in our hearts.

It’s a day of remembrance and unity—but also one of action. We raise funds, engage with other walkers, and share how our business model channels real estate into real impact.

We also invite our clients and community members to join our walk team. Together, we celebrate caregivers, honor those we’ve lost, and take collective steps toward a future without Alzheimer’s.

What Our Support Has Achieved

Thanks to our clients and partners, we’ve been able to contribute thousands of dollars directly to Alzheimer’s research and patient support. Here’s how those funds are used:

• Research Funding: Supporting clinical trials, prevention studies, and drug development.
  
  
• Family Resources: Helping caregivers access hotlines, support groups, and workshops.
  
  
• Local Programs: Supporting services right here in our own communities.
  
  
• Public Awareness: Funding campaigns that educate and reduce stigma.
  
  

These efforts matter deeply to us, not just as professionals, but as people. We’ve been the family that needed those resources. And now, we’re honored to help others access them.

Every Client Helps Carry the Cause

When you buy or sell a home with us, you’re not just making a real estate move—you’re advancing a mission. Whether you’re closing on your dream home or downsizing for a new season of life, your decision helps fuel progress in Alzheimer’s care and research.

We include our donation breakdown in every transaction summary, because transparency matters. Our clients often tell us that knowing their move made a difference gave them peace of mind and a sense of purpose.
