Joanne is the founder of The Curtin Team, but also president and co-founder of Curtin Team Cares. It’s a charitable organization behind their Community Impact programs. Under their leadership, the Curtin Team has become one of Metro Atlanta’s most respected real estate teams, known for their focus on education, leadership and community connection. Today, they’re joining us to share more about their Roswell Home Refresh Program, an initiative that brings local educators renewed comfort and appreciation through the hands of on home transformation. Led by local partners, vendors and volunteers. Tom, Joanne, welcome. I’m so happy to have you guys here today.

Joanne Curtin: Thank you Joshua. We are thrilled.

Joshua Kornitsky: It’s it’s, um. It’s always exciting when we get to talk about how we can help others. And with what you’re doing through kirtan team cares and the Roswell home refresh program. Um, will you tell us about it? Because I get very excited and I want to make sure we we explain what it is before we start talking about it.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. Well, the Roswell Home Refresh is, um, it it is a project you mentioned program, but really it’s a project and it’s a different project every year. Um, it was created through Curtin Team Cares, our 501 three organization that we founded. What year?

Tom Curtin: Uh, 2018.

Joanne Curtin: 2018. And, um, you know, we we were looking for real focus for our nonprofit. And, um, I’m a teacher, um, in, you know, I taught for five years, early childhood ed, before I got into real estate. And my heart really just is with teachers. I mean, that’s just kind of what I love to do is support. I mean, there’s no harder job in the world. Okay. That’s for sure. In fact, it is the, like the birthplace of sales. If you can get kids.

Joshua Kornitsky: You’re you’re.

Joanne Curtin: 100% right. If you can get kids to learn, you’re a salesperson, and it starts in the classroom. So I have a big heart for teachers. I was a teacher, and, um, we decided, you know what? Let’s, you know, our board met and we did a lot of, um, outreach in the community, but we decided, you know what? Let’s focus our efforts on the Roswell Area School District staff and teachers, and let’s, um, take nominations for a teacher or staff member that’s had a hard year. Um, we, uh. So this is this will be our second year of our project, our second.

Tom Curtin: And, um, so we learned a lot last year just starting it for the first time. But what I was going to add is these stories, you know, we take nominations and we have to decide who is going to be the winner. Um, and there’s a lot of tough stories, you know, when you read it, you just you feel for them. And, um, this year’s winner we’re really excited about. But, um, the project varies based on what they need. So, um, you know, Joanna literally go to the house and kind of, hey, what’s your wish list and find out what they want? And then we’re able to leverage our vendor network. You know, of all the folks that we lean into throughout the year through current team, through our real estate business. Right. And, you know, we’ve got great painters and.

Joanne Curtin: And everything is everything is donated. I mean, they’re they’re the labor materials, everything. Um, the project is completely donations. Yeah.

Tom Curtin: So so they donate, you know, we’re very fortunate to be able to lean into them for for donations, for labor and materials and all that. And then this year, for example, our winter is getting a lot of furniture, right? So we’re able to purchase that furniture through the donations that we raise through current team cares. And um, yeah, those kind of efforts.

Joanne Curtin: So yeah, it’s great. I mean, um, it is it is just so exciting to have, you know, the community involved. And it’s our second year. So it is it is slowly catching on. Right. Um, and it’s going to get bigger and bigger. I already feel it because when we go to the schools, you know, now the the receptionist pulls out her phone, she, you know, she sees the flowers, right? And she’s like, oh my gosh, you know, here we go.

Joshua Kornitsky: So as you’ve as you’ve grown now year two with the program and and you’re taking those nominations, which to be clear, the nominations are closed for this year but won’t, you know, won’t be too long before right around.

Joanne Curtin: And we end them August 1st. You know, we let them go all summer long. So we let the principals know in the schools that we’re going to take nominations all summer long. So it’s a real kind of relaxed summer. People just nominate anonymously or or with a name, but they can choose, um, all summer and then August 1st it’s over, and then we meet as a board and we choose the winner and then game on until Thanksgiving.

Joshua Kornitsky: And I think it speaks a lot of the curtain team that you’ve got all of your vendors and suppliers that are helping you, that that that kind of thing doesn’t come without trust and without knowing that you’re a good partner to them, right? For them to be able to volunteer and to donate their time. So throughout the years, is this now something you’re talking up with your vendors and your suppliers so that they’re aware of it?

Joanne Curtin: I mean.

Tom Curtin: Yeah, I mean, it’s it’s um, I mean, they they know we’re going to ask now, but, um.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah, but I mean, you would think, oh, you know, we can ask a lot there. They don’t want to not do it.

Joshua Kornitsky: Like, that’s.

Joanne Curtin: Awesome. I mean, so it’s like, wow, my painters like, if I can call it he calls it a blessing. If I can do the blessing this year. And I’m like, of course you can.

Joshua Kornitsky: How do you say no to that?

Joanne Curtin: I know, so they it’s like, I don’t know, we don’t have to shop vendors. Nobody is saying no. And I can’t do it this year or or really anything.

Tom Curtin: So and it you know, we don’t know until we know what the project’s going to be. Um, but for the most part.

Joanne Curtin: I mean, last year.

Tom Curtin: Paintings usually always involved.

Joshua Kornitsky: Painting and probably.

Tom Curtin: Walls.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah, right. Last year we had some, um, we had, uh, concrete work, and it was freezing. And these guys, I mean, I got a video of the dust flying. They’re all just decked out in their, you know, winter coats. And it was grueling work, and we just were. We couldn’t believe it. So.

Joshua Kornitsky: Yeah, speaking only as a homeowner, I didn’t realize that concrete was an art until I needed some. And it turns out it is quite an art.

Joanne Curtin: It was crazy. Yeah, yeah. And they did it with a smile, of all things.

Joshua Kornitsky: When? When you’re doing things like this that are that are giving of yourself to help others. So let’s talk about last year’s situation or last year’s winner. Pardon me. Um, tell us a little bit about how did that land, how did it go over. Because this is the first person.

Joanne Curtin: So yeah.

Tom Curtin: Well I think kind of backing up, I what Joanne mentioned with it growing, I do think that because it was the first year I think people were like, is this real? What is this. Right. Where’s the catch? So I we didn’t have as many, um, nominations because I think people just thought, I don’t, you know, I don’t want to give these people my name. Right.

Joshua Kornitsky: This is just another way to get my name.

Tom Curtin: Yeah. So I think we had to, you know, some people knew us because we do other things through the school, but, um, you know, in a broad sense, they didn’t. So I think we had to build some trust. Um, but last year’s was, um, a pretty big variety. I mean, there’s painting, landscaping.

Joanne Curtin: And again, every winter. So last year’s winter. Um, something that was important to her was her home office. She’d had, um, some challenges, um, in her family. And, um, and she really wanted to commemorate, um, a past child. And it was just really a deep story. And we just were delicate about it. And, um, and then when you walk into the home, you know, you ask them what, you know, wave a magic wand. What’s something that would really mean something? And to her, it was kind of to have a respite of, of that room where she could just go and, and it could just be a room for her. So we created that. We transformed a bedroom into a home office with memories, um, all around the photos, all around the room. And it was it was delicate because there’s siblings involved and, um, you know, a lot of people came out in the community that knew her and wanted to help, and it was just so touching. Really, really was.

Joshua Kornitsky: So I think people love to help and people love to help others who, whether it’s through loss or other means, and we want to respect their privacy. But in order to help fill the the hole in ourselves, we help but to also help others who have endured things. It’s healing for everybody.

Joanne Curtin: Right. And we had, you know, we had nominations that we couldn’t choose. We had a winner, right? That we all chose. Um, but then we had a couple of, um, runners up that we couldn’t choose. So, um, you know, we we do something for them as well. I’ll just leave it at that. We definitely bless them in another way. And that feels good too.

Joshua Kornitsky: Well, and I know this, and I’m not, um, shy about saying it. Pardon me again with my squeaky voice. Uh, as a the reason I got to know you both is, is that I’m a two time customer. But I say this from a from a human interest perspective. Um, you do a lot in the community, and I know that because I receive regular communication as a former customer that this is going on. I got a thing that there is some PiS coming around.

Tom Curtin: Yeah.

Joshua Kornitsky: Um, but you guys do movie nights. You do all sorts of things.

Joanne Curtin: We we did wino bingo. Joshua, where were you? Probably here.

Joshua Kornitsky: Um, but you guys have created your own community, and I think that that speaks volumes about the integrity of your business, because people that I know that I’ve recommended, that I’ve suggested the curtain team. It’s integrity. First it’s community spirit. Now it’s charitable giving. Not that it wasn’t before because Curtain Team Cares already existed. Correct. So it wasn’t that you weren’t doing other charitable things. This one’s just a little bit more public.

Joanne Curtin: It is. And it was just such a perfect project for our team because, I mean, you know, any Tuesday we can refresh a home. We do that for a living, right? And to do this, I mean, it’s such a large project for the winter. And to us, it’s it’s just something we take for granted. So we’re like, wow, you know, this is just perfect for us to get behind. And we should just, you know, um, just keep putting gas on it every year, see what we can do.

Joshua Kornitsky: And we want to make sure that we draw the attention to it. We’ll get we’ll get you on earlier before the nomination process next time, so that we can make sure to get the word out about that. Um, you know, we are all somewhat, uh, I don’t want to say numb, but we’re biased because we see renovation programs on television that let’s just go ahead and say are not realistic.

Joanne Curtin: It’s almost impossible to create what they’re what they’re.

Joshua Kornitsky: I have in my personal life, known people that have been, uh, not on shows but have been in the running to be on shows. And let’s just say there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors and leave it at that. Um, we won’t speak ill of them, but how long does it take once you have your winner and things get moving?

Joanne Curtin: That’s a great question.

Tom Curtin: Yeah. So we we do have to spread some of it out. So, you know, I guess originally we kind of thought could we do it all in one day? And the answer was no. Um, it does depend on the house. Yeah.

Joshua Kornitsky: So like the.

Tom Curtin: Pro in this case, the paint’s already been done. You know, we bring the painter in ahead of time, so we. Yeah, we.

Joanne Curtin: We reach out to the vendors that we know we need these things fixed. We get them to, you know, let us know that that’s a possibility. Absolutely. But then I think what’s so great is the vendors can say, you know what? When it’s an ice storm or when it’s rained out, we can come over there with our guys, like, can, can we do that on, you know, this weekend or on a Friday. And so it’s really just whenever it’s good for them and we clear it with the homeowner and um, it just and and they’re so thankful they’re like absolutely. They can come over here. And so we’re we’re actually working on it for a good month prior to the day. But then the day happens and we get we get full like, you know, permission to bring our team and our board in.

Tom Curtin: Um, and the volunteers.

Joanne Curtin: And volunteers, of course, um, to come in and just put stuff together and do the install is what we say, you know, with all the fun stuff that we’ve.

Joshua Kornitsky: Well, so, so let’s talk about volunteers because there is still time for volunteers.

Joanne Curtin: There is totally time. We have blinds and we.

Tom Curtin: Have a.

Joanne Curtin: Lot of nature. We have it’s from.

Tom Curtin: Ikea, which is making me.

Joshua Kornitsky: Sweat.

Tom Curtin: Look at those boxes.

Joanne Curtin: Let me tell you, some Ikea shelves are about as good as I mean, that is like gold. I love those.

Tom Curtin: Um.

Joanne Curtin: Ikea shelves.

Tom Curtin: So yeah, we have that whole day and we’ll I mean, that’s the fun. I mean, I don’t know that furniture putting together is fun.

Joanne Curtin: The install of the furniture.

Tom Curtin: You know, once you get to see the finished product, like, well.

Joshua Kornitsky: That’s the payoff that they keeps everybody tuned in to those silly shows, right? It’s because everybody wants to see the after.

Tom Curtin: Yeah. That’s right. Yeah.

Joshua Kornitsky: So yeah, I love the fact that you guys are realistic about it because it it always struck me as kind of crazy how they could paint the house and put the furniture in on the same day, right? I mean, I guess you could.

Tom Curtin: Yeah.

Joshua Kornitsky: You must not care a lot about the floors, right?

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. No. We’re humans. I mean, we’re we’re getting there. We’re getting there in the morning. We’re going to have lunch there. I mean, it’s a great obviously team building exercise.

Tom Curtin: And we do it the Friday before Thanksgiving on purpose so that the homeowner, the winner can have, you know, everything’s done for the holidays, right. For for Thanksgiving and, um, you know, going into the holidays. So. Yeah. Um, so that’s the day that we’ve chosen.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. And everyone’s in a giving spirit. It just makes sense, you know, it’s the perfect time to plant flowers. We usually put some flowers up by the front door. Um, there’s holiday decorations involved. We. You know, I don’t want to. Is she going to hear this after the fact? I don’t want to give away the funny thing that we’re doing in there.

Joshua Kornitsky: Then let’s.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah.

Joshua Kornitsky: Leave it secret. You can share it next time. Yeah.

Joanne Curtin: Um, so we have a little surprise.

Joshua Kornitsky: And I know from other conversations that we’ve had that you’ve got a really strong culture inside of the curtain team itself. So are your folks excited to get involved? Oh.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. I mean, they’re like, who’s the winner? Like, you know, who’s the winner? What can we do? And they’re just, um. Yeah, they block out the day and they they’re just. Yeah. They’re coming. Ready to be filled. Filled. Fill their cup.

Tom Curtin: Yeah, it’s it’s something that we can all kind of get behind. And the way that we part of the way that we fund curtain team cares is every home that we sell, we donate a portion into curtain team care. So just kind of throughout the year.

Joanne Curtin: There’s a kitty. I mean, there’s a kitty we’re drawing from. Yeah.

Joshua Kornitsky: Good to know though, because that’s not something that it even occurred to me how to how that comes about. Because lumber is not free no matter who’s donating.

Joanne Curtin: Right, right. Yeah. And and, you know, um, when we do sell homes, we have letters that go out and reminds them a portion of this went to our home refresh. This is what, um, you know, our nonprofit is supporting and just gives that homeowner a feel good of, like, what we donated on their behalf for that sale. They forget or maybe don’t even know.

Joshua Kornitsky: Well, 100% they forget, because if it’s not in front of us, that’s just human nature. But I think that it’s the fact that it’s a portion of every home you’re dealing with says a lot about the integrity of the organization, and it’s about the consistency of keeping that kitty full, because we all know that it all goes up and down when it comes to availability and vendors and supplies and all of that. Um, so you guys are are really forward thinking that way. Do you and I ask this cautiously, we don’t want to give anything away. Do you have other plans for curtain teams care. Curtain team cares. Pardon me with with other things that you are okay talking about.

Tom Curtin: Yeah. Well, we.

Joanne Curtin: Actually do quite a bit.

Tom Curtin: Yeah. There’s some partners in the community that we partner with and we donate to regularly. Um, Children’s Development Academy is one of them.

Joanne Curtin: Cda.

Tom Curtin: School in Roswell.

Joanne Curtin: And they serve under um, uh. What is their mission? It’s under under low income families. Okay. Yeah, it’s a low income family. Support for early childhood ed. Yeah. And again, that was in line with.

Joshua Kornitsky: Sounds like it’s your passion.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah, it was in line with what we did, and we were just like, wow, this is fabulous. So we it’s all pre-K.

Tom Curtin: We also take kind of one offs. You know, I mean, there’s been just outreach. If something happens to an individual in the community that they need kind of an immediate support, then that’s what we’re there.

Joanne Curtin: Right. And we have a liaison on the board for every, um, elementary school, um, as well as, yeah, into some middle schools, too. Yeah.

Tom Curtin: One of the fun things we’ve been able to do is, um, a couple of the middle, uh, sorry, elementary schools where we are. Um, they don’t have enough funds to do a field trip. Um, like some, you know, some schools. The parents can donate.

Joanne Curtin: The school wide field trips, the school wide can get expensive.

Tom Curtin: Some of the kids, you know, their parents don’t have the money to to give to do the field trip. And we’ve been able to fund that so that all the kids can go and.

Joanne Curtin: And it’s a sleepover at the aquarium. That’s like, I remember when my daughter did a sleepover like it. And it’s all about, you know, your friends and just such a big deal.

Joshua Kornitsky: Well, and and the reason that I.

Joanne Curtin: And that’s a fifth grade trip, by the way.

Joshua Kornitsky: Thank you for clarifying. Uh, the reason that I asked that is I want people to understand that this isn’t just in the real estate universe of giving, right? That this is just community care and community, uh, consciousness. And for that, you guys should really, really be saluted. Why? I so, uh, was so excited to have you back on to talk about this, because these are the kinds of things that people don’t ever see happen, right? And in most, giving is invisible. And it’s no one’s business who does what, where, to whom or how as far as giving goes. But this should. We need more corporate responsibility. We need more corporate giving. Um, because this is direct and directly touches the communities you serve and that we serve. So to me, I love the fact that that it’s starting and ending with education focus, but it’s also giving into the community to help elevate, uh, folks within. So I’m excited to see this year’s winner. When when will that be made public?

Joanne Curtin: Well, actually, we had um, we had oh, it’s going out in the magazine. Well, we’ve shared who the winner is.

Tom Curtin: Yeah. So we’ve we’ve announced the winner already.

Joanne Curtin: Um, her name is Tony Reeves, and she’s from Hembree Springs Elementary School. Okay. And it was so fun to share that with our team because one of our team members was like, oh my gosh, my kids went to Henry Springs. So, you know, there’s such a connection. So, um, it was a it was an anonymous nomination. And Tony is very just grateful. She’s like, I don’t need to hide anything. You just share my story. But, um, she’s a single mom, and, um, she recently purchased a house. And, you know, in our business, I mean, anyone that pulls the trigger to purchase a house in a climate that we’ve been through is just a hero already, right? Um. And we just were really proud of her for doing that. And, um, and she, after she purchased the house, she had some things that just never got done. And that’s what her kind of wish was, was. Oh, my gosh. Like, I just want to get my kids rooms painted. You know, I haven’t done that. And, um, you know, some other things with the kids. We we got to talk to them about some things that they were wanting. So it was just fabulous, but I forgot. What was your question?

Tom Curtin: Initially, the winner was.

Joshua Kornitsky: The winner about who the winner.

Joanne Curtin: Was. Yes. And so, you know, um, we surprised her with, um, a beautiful bouquet of flowers donated. Um, and she came to the front. They called her up. She thought she was in trouble. And that was the best video. Um, and, you know, it’s just it it involves the whole school, and we’re going to involve the whole school again. Um, for her, um, for her install day, they’re going to do a little something for her. So we’re excited, but, um, and then Roswell magazine, uh, Roswell Neighbor magazine does an article about it to let the community know. And Michelle Berry helps us put that put that out. And, yeah, it’s just awesome.

Joshua Kornitsky: Is there a website where people can kind of see some pictures or if they want to learn more?

Joanne Curtin: Um, well, I mean.

Tom Curtin: We.

Joanne Curtin: Put.

Tom Curtin: It on our social media.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. Best thing is just our Instagram curtain team. Um, and then it’ll link up to Curtain Team care. So really it’s Instagram and Facebook. You know, curtain team care social is really where it’s all at. I mean, that’s that’s instant.

Joshua Kornitsky: Websites are kind of static.

Joanne Curtin: Well, you can go to our website to give money or sign up to volunteer.

Joshua Kornitsky: Please tell us what what that is.

Tom Curtin: Uh, curtain team cares or curtain comm.

Joshua Kornitsky: And it’s important to point out again. And I’m I’m a stickler on this one. It’s a 500 1C3. It’s a legitimate nonprofit. And not to intimate that others are not. But there’s a lot of confusion sometimes this is a charity and you are donating to a charity.

Joanne Curtin: Absolutely.

Joshua Kornitsky: It’s a charity that helps here in our community. And in this particular case, is fulfilling an educators wish list for what they had had wanted to get finished in their home.

Joanne Curtin: Um hum.

Joshua Kornitsky: Yeah. Um, I think it’s fantastic. And, and as we roll forward into the the season of giving. I think it’s important to note that we got to keep the kitty full. So if people want to continue to donate, if people want to give, yes, those those doors are open.

Joanne Curtin: Absolutely, absolutely. They they can give with those, um, with the sites that Tom shared. And when we do these events like, y’know, bingo. And we have, um, we have breakfast with Santa and photos with Santa coming up in December, um, there’s a QR code where they can donate on the spot, because actually we weren’t doing that last year, and the families were so grateful that their kids could come, you know, and tell their, you know, tell Santa what they want. And it’s later in the month to where they they actually have an idea. Sometimes it’s so early, but they’re so grateful and they’re like, oh, how can we, you know, how can we thank you? And we’re like, oh, well, this is how you can thank us. You know, if you’re asking, that’s definitely fantastic.

Joshua Kornitsky: So you better buy a house. I mean.

Joanne Curtin: That too.

Joshua Kornitsky: That was a big.

Tom Curtin: Thing that helps. Yeah.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah, yeah.

Joshua Kornitsky: Well, I, I can’t thank you guys enough for the work that you’re doing in the community. Is there anything else that we need to let anybody know about the program? Excuse me? The project?

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. Um.

Joshua Kornitsky: Gosh, I want to.

Joanne Curtin: I mean, think about, you know, you know, just think about next year, if, you know.

Tom Curtin: We’ll open up nominations, um, probably in the early spring next year.

Joshua Kornitsky: Okay. And we want to make sure that you’re following them on, on Instagram for both kirtan team and kirtan team cares. So that that way you’re able to see what’s going on and, you know, maybe stay abreast of what’s happening in your community in a couple of different directions.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. And if if someone’s not getting our newsletter, I mean, we, we really I mean, and and follow us on Instagram. I mean, we just did a post about like what’s happening in the Roswell Alpharetta area over the holidays and over the giving times. I mean, how to give must ministries. I mean, there’s all kinds of ways people can give back, not just through kirtan team care. So we’re really rooted in the community.

Joshua Kornitsky: And I know you are. And I’ll tell you in a in an information age where we are all overloaded with entirely too much communication. I do read your emails. That’s how I knew about the pie.

Joanne Curtin: You know, I’m so glad to hear that because.

Tom Curtin: It’s.

Joanne Curtin: Hard. Listen, Joshua, I remember in the I mean, this will be our 25th year coming up. Um, next next year will be our 25th year. Wow. Everything’s going to have to have a 25 in it when we do something. But I remember asking people for their emails when we were first in the business and they were like, well, I’m not going to share my email. You know, nobody wanted to give their email.

Tom Curtin: So I don’t have one.

Joanne Curtin: I don’t have one. Or so now and then I’m wondering, do people really read it? So I’m glad to hear that we have something that you choose to read. Well, because so many people do.

Joshua Kornitsky: It comes down to is the fact that you’re you’re sharing useful information. And when you’re sharing useful information, when you’re showing the good you’re doing right. It’s it’s hard not to pay attention.

Joanne Curtin: Yeah. It’s a good email. Yeah. You want to open it?

Joshua Kornitsky: Yeah. Because we all get plenty of emails that we don’t want to read, right? Um, so that that always makes me happy to see. So I’m glad that you guys are maintaining the communication. Keep it open, keep it flowing. Um, and thank you for what you’re doing for our community, because I think that it deserves the thanks. We really appreciate it.

Joanne Curtin: Thank you.

Joshua Kornitsky: So for anyone who wants to learn more about the Roswell Home refresh or the curtain team cares, the best way to do that is to go to their Instagram or their website. Um, we will have those published when we publish the interview on Spotify and Apple and the other podcast platforms. My guest today has been Tom Curtin, CEO of Curtin Team.

I can’t thank you guys enough for coming in and giving us some more of your time. I know how short it must be these days.

Tom Curtin: Thank you.

Joanne Curtin: It’s awesome.

Joshua Kornitsky: It’s. It’s always.

Joanne Curtin: A.

Joshua Kornitsky: Pleasure. And I expect to see you in the spring when the nominations open.
