Buy a Home. Negotiate Well. Fundraise for Gaza.
Mortgage On A Mission
If you or a friend are buying a home, you should be aware of the $1.8 billion lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors. My webinar goes into the details of what this means for you as a home buyer. I hope to help buyers reduce the cost of home ownership so that you have more money to help support charitable giving.
My name is Ben Strube and I live in Dallas, TX. I’m the co-chair of the Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East (UUJME) chapter in Dallas, at the First Unitarian Church of Dallas. My business has signed on to the Apartheid-Free Communities Coalition. As a social enterprise business, we ask that you boycott RE/MAX for its involvement in, and profiting from, the illegal sale of Palestinian land. We will not provide mortgage services to any home buyers who have hired a Realtor affiliated with RE/MAX.
I help to co-lead a small group at my religious community on discovering the root causes of the conflict and a pathway to peace. Israel’s behavior is the latest chapter in a centuries-old saga of Western, settler-colonialism that refuses to see others as equals. Thank you for what you are doing in your community to not let our Palestinian brothers and sisters be forgotten.
“I live outside of Texas”
We are a mortgage company licensed only in Texas. If you plan to buy a home outside of Texas, we can still help you. Please watch our home buying webinar and learn how to negotiate with agents and lenders. We can provide support to you during this process. We only ask that you donate $600 or more to a charity supporting the famine crisis in Gaza, after you purchase your new home. We can provide you with everything you need to negotiate well, including contact info for quality real estate agents and lenders in your local area.
