New Story Partnership: Building Safe, Sustainable Communities

The Sotheby’s International Realty® Brand and New Story Partnership

The Sotheby’s International Realty® brand is proud to announce that it has partnered with New Story, a non-profit organization that puts 100% of donations toward transforming dangerous living environments into communities of safe, sustainable homes, for $6,000 a home.

Why did Sotheby’s choose New Story as a partner?

• 100% of donations go directly to the field. They operate with completely separate overhead cost so every dollar donated goes straight to building homes.
• Donors have the ability to see the exact family they’re sponsoring, along with the supplies and costs their donation is covering. In the beginning, the donor receives a photo of the family and their story. When the home is completed, they are delivered a move-in video to share in the excitement of this incredible effort.
• They hire local labor and buy domestic materials to boost the country’s economy. New Story does more than build houses – they provide jobs and economic stability for the communities they service.
