Program benefited Delaware Housing Opportunity Fund

Long & Foster Real Estate has announced that its Greenville, Delaware, office, recently sponsored a self-defense class to benefit the Delaware Housing Opportunity Fund (DEHOFI), a local nonprofit organization.

The class focused on preparing women and men of all sizes and physical abilities to protect themselves in real-life scenarios and help them develop situational awareness. With the assistance of trained personnel, attendees learned how to defend themselves by performing basic self-defense actions against a wide range of possible assaults.

“The self-defense moves were easy to learn and the class was terrific,” said Stacy Horowitz, a real estate agent in Long & Foster’s Greenville office. “But most importantly, we learned that being aware of what is going on around you is the best defense to protect yourself.”

The course was taught by Scott Deputy, a sales associate in Long & Foster’s Greenville office, who is a martial arts instructor at the San Da Jiu Jitsu Do Delaware location. Deputy is also a Realtor safety and self-defense continuing education instructor in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

“It was a great opportunity to share Scott’s skills as a self-defense instructor and raise money for a great cause,” said R.T. Christopher, managing broker of the Greenville office.

All proceeds benefitted the DEHOFI in its efforts to provide financial assistance and housing needs to low and moderate-income individuals and families. Among its charitable work, DEHOFI offers support for essential home repairs for qualified senior homeowners and veterans and it is involved in community development and disaster response efforts.

Long & Foster was honored by The News Journal as the No. 1 Top Workplace in Delaware for 2017. In addition, the Greenville office earned the position as the brokerage’s No. 1 office by units for 2017, exceeding all other Long & Foster sales offices.

Long & Foster is the nation’s No. 1 independent real estate brand by sales volume. For more information, visit LongandFoster.com.
