More than 600 real estate professionals and their guests gathered for a festive party hosted by Sutton Group – West Coast Realty in Vancouver recently to support B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.  Fundraisers such as this have helped Sutton Group – West Coast Realty raise close to $50,000 for the fund since 2010.  In addition to 50/50 draws, donation boxes at open houses and barbecues, the brokerage is the official relocation partner to the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters.  When the firefighters and their friends and family use the brokerage to buy or sell their home, it triggers a donation for the fund.

These efforts recently earned the team a Sutton Spirit award.  Suzanne Carswell, the managing broker at the Langley office, was nominated to accept the award on behalf of the group.
