REALTOR® Is First to Help Tornado Victim

As Mike Busby walked over the lot where his home once stood, his primary emotion was one of gratitude. He was thankful that the EF-3 tornado that leveled his home spared his family as they all hid in the bathroom. In the aftermath, one of the first people to reach out to Mike was his REALTOR®, Sherrye McCoy. Among other assistance, Sherrye was able to deliver a check to the Busby family for temporary housing thanks to a grant from the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. As Mike states, “It is a blessing to know that there are people who care.” #TEAMRRF
