Long & Foster Real Estate strives to give back not only to the communities in which its team members live and work, but also to the industry that has supported us so much over the years. The company and its agents do so by volunteering with the many Realtor associations and Multiple Listing Service (MLS) boards and committees.

“I couldn’t be prouder of our Long & Foster team for their dedication to giving back,” said Dawn Bradley, senior vice president and regional manager for Long & Foster in Richmond. “Their commitment to serving our real estate industry and community exemplifies the values of leadership and philanthropy that are the foundation of our business at Long & Foster.”
