Ganem Realty Announces Partnership with Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity

Thursday, October 7th, 2021

Celebrating their second year as a trusted independent realtor in the Hostess City, Ganem Realty continues to stand as a pillar of support for Greater Savannah. In partnership with the Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity, the team at Ganem Realty is relaunching their highly successful “Closing for the Community.”  Beginning September 1, a portion of all home sales will be donated to the Savannah Habitat branch. 

Since learning about the unique program Coastal Empire Habitat employs to assure homeowners experience long-term success, Courtney Ganem, Owner/Broker of Ganem Realty, has been inspired to support the non-profit's ministry. “It is truly incredible to witness the commitment Habitat has in championing these hard-working families towards achieving their dream of owning quality, affordable homes in safe neighborhoods. This is so much more than writing a check, it’s about revitalizing and strengthening our entire community, one household at a time.” 

"On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and partner families, we are elated to embark upon this inspiring new venture with Ganem Realty,” said Savannah Habitat CEO, Zerik Samples. “This partnership embodies the essence of community!"

Habitat for Humanity’s program leads eligible applicants through a multiple-step process which is inclusive of a vetting process, completing sweat equity hours, and homebuyer education courses. Individuals must demonstrate fiscal readiness by having steady employment, reasonable income, as well as low debt to qualify.  With over 30 years combined experience assisting clients through the home buying and selling process, the team at Ganem Realty greatly values the immeasurable impact this framework has in making Savannah a better place to live for everyone, all while mobilizing the power of our community!
