Community
Our approach to life and business is that we should give back as much as we take. It's this guiding principle that continues to shape the Brokerage that is Black Phoenix Group. Service is at the foundation of our organization. Currently, the owner sits on the Board of Iowa Safe Schools, and has previously served as a Councilmember in Winsor Heights; as well as on the Board of Guardian Scholars Foundation.
Sustainability
The Black Phoenix Group is committed to the longterm sustainability of our environment. We realize that as a business, it's our responsibility to lessen our impact; this is why at the foundation of our company is a commitment to be more climate-conscious.
We've reduced our need for paper by creating a process that relies entirely on technology. The decisions we make and the businesses we partner with are also a factor. Meaning, we go one step further and try to utilize companies and services that share our mindset.
Lastly, we've consolidated our footprint to be as small and efficient as possible by creating a live/ work office. Our goal is to continue to lessen our impact on the environment while also being an example for not only the real estate industry but other small businesses.
