  • Why & How He Gives Back So Much. The ORCF’s Motorcycle Ride for Charity Top Fundraiser - Special Guest – Real Estate Broker – Tamer Mecky
    Oct 4 2024

    Known for his strong work ethic and deep commitment to community, he has built a reputation for delivering exceptional client experiences. Before calling Belleville home, he worked briefly as a realtor in Aurora and Newmarket, but in 2015, a move driven by family and lifestyle brought him to there.

    His passion for giving back is reflected in multiple areas of his life. As a monthly donor to the YMCA Community Building Campaign, he is actively supporting the development of the new state-of-the-art YMCA Centre for Life, a facility designed to meet the growing needs of Belleville’s community.

    And his contributions don’t stop there. He is also recognized as a top 1% donor to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, a reflection of his personal financial commitment, with every transaction supporting the work of the foundation to end domestic violence. Beyond his own donations, he volunteers his time, resources, and energy to organize community events and charity motorcycle rides, raising significant funds for both the RLP Shelter Foundation and Belleville’s Three Oaks Foundation, a local women’s shelter.

    His dedication to giving back extends to his 37 blood donations, showing his ongoing commitment to making a real difference. For him, success is not just about real estate—it’s about building a better, stronger community.

    And recently, he was named the top fundraiser for the Ontario Realtors Care Foundation charity motorcycle ride in September 2024, which brings him here today with us to share more about his journey of giving back and supporting others.

    Joining me on this episode is Special Guest – Real Estate Broker – Tamer Mecky.

    12:01 *where do you find, how do you make the time to be so involved with your community while still getting actual work done, so bills can get paid?

    14:27 *why do you spend so much time giving back?
