The People Project

At Honeycomb Homes & Properties,
WE LOVE OUR COMMUNITY

We are champions for our community and want to shine a spotlight on the people that make it so special! We want to take the opportunity to tell the stories of our great citizens and get to know them a little better, one person at a time.

We hope you enjoy taking a moment to learn more about your neighbors! If there is someone you think we should know, nominate them here:

We love meeting, knowing, and working with our community, and we love working with homes and all types of properties. Helping our community achieve their goals through buying and selling property is something we consider ourselves very fortunate to get to do. Contact one of our REALTORS® if we can help!
