CNN has an amazing story about a family in Atlanta, Georgia trying to sell their home. It’s not the typical real estate story. Although the Salwen’s 1912 mansion has been on the market for a year now, they’re not eager to sell it for the reason you might think. They plan to donate half of the proceeds to help others.
According to the article it all started when 15-year-old Hannah Salwen noticed a Mercedes stopped next to a homeless man. “I said to my dad, ‘If that guy didn’t have such a nice car, then that guy could have a nice meal,’ Hannah told CNN. That simple idea started a chain of conversations that lead to the family putting their $1.8 million mansion on the market.
