Houwzer is a Certified B Corporation
In 2016, Houwzer became a certified B Corporation, an acknowledgment of our company’s commitment to social and environmental ethics, transparency, and accountability. Houwzer joins over 2000 Certified B Corporations globally – including over 50 in the Philadelphia area – that have met the rigorous standards that measure a company’s impact on its employees, suppliers, community, and the environment.
What is a Certified B Corporation?
Certified B Corporations are a new type of corporation which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. It’s like Fair Trade certification but for the whole business, not just a bag of coffee (or USDA Organic certification, but not just for a carton of milk; or LEED certification, but not just for a building).
Why did we become a B Corp?
B Corp reflects the values we hold as an innovative real estate brokerage. We became a B Corp to guide our mission of not only becoming the best real estate company in the world, but also the best for the world. As we work to change this broken industry, the B Corp Impact Assessment will continue to ensure we are using business as a force for good
How we are making it happen.
Consumers
We have saved our clients more than $17 million in listing commissions, giving our clients more money to finance what’s important to them. Our home sellers save an average of $15,000.
Agents
On average, a first year agent working for a traditional brokerage will earn less than $15,000. Houwzer agents earn a competitive base salary plus performance bonuses. Our agents also receive health care contributions, options for dental and vision insurance, and even receive commuter benefits. Plus, as employees, the brokerage covers all their expenses.
Community
Employees volunteer 50 hours a year in their local community, both through group opportunities and individual interests. Additionally, Houwzer donates 2.5% of profits each year to area nonprofits. Plus, we work with local vendors whenever possible and in 2017, over 60% of our expenses were spent with local independent suppliers.
