Community Outreach

Children are the future of our community and supporting them is a top priority for Collin County REALTORS®. As part of its commitment to the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County, the Collin County Association of REALTORS holds an Annual Holiday Breakfast in which winter coats and clothing are donated. Over the past 15 years, Collin County REALTORS® have donated thousands of articles of winter clothing to ensure that the youngest members of our communities stay safe and warm.

- HELPING THE CHILDREN

The right to home ownership is something that REALTORS® take very seriously. By working with
The 
Samaritan Inn homeless shelter in McKinney, Texas, Collin County REALTORS®  have furnished homes with furniture, food, and other house goods for residents graduating the shelter. In addition, a recent event by the Collin County Association of REALTORS® provided more than $26,000 to the Inn.

Community of the Month

Melissa, Texas

Located 35 miles north of downtown Dallas, Melissa, Texas is “…one of the last cities in Collin County to have a touch of the rural,” says Reed Greer, Mayor of Melissa. According to Greer, Melissa is “…a fast growing and family-friendly community that has a sense of community pride that is focused around the school system.”

Just two exits north of McKinney off of Highway 75, Melissa is a bedroom community that also offers any kind of retail or commercial need within a six to seven minute drive. As a smaller city, Melissa also offers “slower Saturdays,” where kids can go out and play without the fear of continuous traffic streaming down every neighborhood street. If you are looking for a quieter lifestyle that is within reach of a big city, Melissa is the place for you.
