Stewarding real estate
to sustain legacy and transform communities.
Vision
A redemptive real estate social enterprise that preserves a legacy of community impact by preserving places.
Mission
To acquire and steward a select portfolio of real estate that sustains a legacy of generosity, hospitality, and transformational impact in individuals, families, and communities locally and globally.
Where real estate meets community impact.
Preserving Places combines real estate with community impact by holding land and properties that are uniquely purposed and exist to transform lives and communities. This portfolio is intentionally structured for assets to be held perpetually, allowing for leadership to sustain the vision for generations to come. Each of the five segments within the portfolio fulfills a specific and designated purpose.
Just Imagine the Community Impact When...
Both people and places are truly unencumbered!
What is redemptive real estate?
The heart behind the vision
- The average church spending $20-50K monthly on mortgage can allocate that to transformational efforts.

- The single mom or widow don't have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
- Land produces such abundant crops

The Opportunity
An estimated $68 Trillion transfers to the next generation in 10 to 20 years, BUT...
Lost Legacies
Family wealth is lost by the third generation.
No Communication
Wealthy parents share little to nothing
about their wealth with their kids.
Unequipped Heirs
Say next generation is not equipped
to responsibly manage inheritance.
Answering the ask of far too many...
I have all this resource, but where can I leave it where it will be sustained as a legacy?
Real People & Real Conversations
We exist to serve individuals, families, and organizations that have resource, real estate, and a desire to see real estate used for community transformation. This may include the continuance of a real estate endeavor already having impact as well as the acquisition of real estate for a new impact initiative.
Has assets and desires to have community impact but no heirs or heirs uninterested in continuing legacy.
Has unique real estate assets with a specific vision for them which has never been initiated or realized.
Has spent her lifetime building assets of significance and has a heart for it to continue to do good.
Our Process
Assess
Initial conversations, site walk, and preliminary Legacy Impact Assessment for prospective property.
Acquire
Formal transactional process of receiving or appropriating funds to add a property into the portfolio.
Perpetuate
Active stewardship of the property. Annual review and evaluation of the impact, initiatives, and opportunities within the community for generations to come.
Strategize
Develop a strategic plan for community impact, revenue generation, and upside potential for the property to sustain its operations and remain on mission.
Restoration Through Revenues
This business model functions by maintaining a portfolio of strategic real estate assets that are primarily free and clear of debt service, allowing for the revenues to sustain the operational necessities and yet appropriate the excess and majority of revenues directly to missional use and community transformation initiatives.

Why a Redemptive Real Estate Portfolio
Appreciation Hedges Against Inflation
Real estate assets and rents always appreciate over the long term. This is a natural hedge against inflationary pressures.
Tax Deductible Benefit to Donors
Proper structures and strategic partnerships allow for donors to maximize taxable benefits for liquid and non-liquid gifts.
Can Be Held in Perpetual Structures
Real estate can be held in structures that promote perpetuity across generations with benefits to donors for their contributions.
Income Generation Sustains Portfolio Holdings
Assets are intended to be self-sustaining and income generating to retain that place in perpetuity. Excess resources are poured directly into community efforts and impact.
Strategic Use of Places Transforms Communities
Real estate offers the unique benefit of using places as a form of charity that supports organizational efforts to bolster perpetual community transformation.
Income is Deployable for Community Impact Initiatives
Real estate income can be utilized in communities unlike the principal funds in standard endowments that perpetually arrest billions of dollars that could otherwise be a catalyst for good.

Our Model
With debt service pressures not playing a role, there isn't a need to repay investors or steep interest sums like most traditional models. Income generated on Preserving Places' properties will first cover their respective operating costs, and proceeds above and beyond that generated through missionally aligned events will go directly to community impact initiatives and future property acquisitions that further community efforts. Though some aspects of traditional investment and investor models may make sense in select scenarios it will not be a primary acquisition strategy.
The real estate consultancy providing strategy, advisory, and acquisition services. It is also the social enterprise designed to maintain a portfolio of primarily free and clear properties in perpetuity for the purposes of community impact. Properties are retained without personal ownership yet are structured to allow leadership to continue the vision of stewardship and community impact for generations to come.
The partner nonprofit that is founded with the heart to foster a movement of serving others and putting action to love in our communities. Do Love manages income generating activities on select Preserving Places properties to facilitate community impact. Each property is to remain on-mission in its endeavors while strategically utilizing the assets to financially sustain and/or significantly support its own operations in order to perpetuate its efforts.
