Baird & Warner employees recently assisted Habit for Humanity Chicago in construction projects on Chicago's South Side

Baird & Warner Agents Pitch In on Habitat for Humanity Chicago Projects

Dozens of agents and employees from Baird & Warner, Illinois’ largest family-owned independent real estate services company, recently collaborated with longtime partner Habitat for Humanity Chicago to help advance the construction of four homes on the city’s South Side. 

Through Baird & Warner’s nonprofit community service and philanthropy arm, Good Will Works, nearly 50 volunteers from the company’s brokerage, mortgage, title, corporate and support services divisions gathered to help construct two homes in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood and two homes in West Pullman. The scope of the work included carpentry work to frame the walls, floors and roofs of the homes, which are vital steps in the roughly nine-month process to complete a Habitat for Humanity build from start to finish. 

The build day follows an announcement earlier this year from Baird & Warner of a multi-year partnership with Habitat for Humanity Chicago and a $500,000 contribution.
