Realtor specializations
Edina Realty REALTORS specialize in a variety of areas from first-time homebuyers luxury properties, new construction to lakeshore, and everything in between.
Community involvement and corporate giving
Created in 1996, the Edina Realty Foundation was conceived by a group of REALTORS and employees who expressed interest in Edina Realty and its affiliate companies focusing their charitable dollars toward homeless people and homelessness prevention in the communities they serve.
The Edina Realty Foundation is a not-for-profit, private foundation supported by the sales and employee partners and corporations of Edina Realty Home Services. The Edina Realty Foundation offers financial support to non-profit organizations serving homeless individuals, children and families and/or homelessness prevention in communities across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. In 2023, 221 grants totaling $379,000 were given to local organizations. Since its inception in 1996, the Edina Realty Foundation has raised more than $12 million.
Our funding is made possible by:
- Agent and employee contributions
- Year-round fundraising events
- Contributions from Edina Realty Home Services
In 2019, the Edina Realty Foundation partnered with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) to establish two Edina Realty Foundation Homes for Veterans. Funds from the Foundation were used to rehab two homes, so several homeless veterans now have a place to call home.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion efforts
We believe inclusion builds stronger communities and stronger business. Edina Realty’s Diversity and Inclusion Team (DIT) of REALTORS and employees actively seeks ways to bridge gaps in our communities with the following vision and mission: The Diversity and Inclusion Team fosters and showcases a superior work environment and a comprehensive set of professional standards. We focus on inclusion of all individuals and perspectives in everything we do. Our mission is to assure inclusion in our planning, our thinking and in our interactions with each other and our communities.
Key areas of focus:
- Recruit and retain a more diverse team of agents, employees and corporate leadership
- Serve and work for our many diverse communities and customers
- Provide homeownership education and services to everyone
DIT has helped Edina Realty offer a more diverse and inclusive set of marketing materials, including a Spanish website tailored to our Spanish-speaking clients, and a set of diverse holiday greeting postcards and social media templates. Edina Realty’s DIT leadership has also been instrumental in the creation and expansion of Just Deeds, an organization that seeks to eliminate racially restrictive language from property deeds.
