SJ Britson
Project Manager
SJ is a licensed realtor.
In 1996 she started a non-profit. Her goal was to begin buying, renovating, and selling homes affordably to veterans and first responders. She also launched a rental program for Veterans.
SJ worked closely with the tenants and uncovered that most had little to no furniture to move into their new homes. So, in 2017 another department was added to the non-profit. Some of the proceeds from the sale of renovated houses is used to provide furniture for previously homeless veterans.

Note From Mrs. Ward– In 2010 my Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Going through this at such a young age really taught me how easily a family’s life can be turned upside down in a moment. I look forward to working with clients to help make even a small percentage of their grief and stress away.
