Real estate team continues its “service without strings” mission through educator support and meaningful family outreach
The Will Carter Team—led by top East Valley realtor Will Carter and consistently recognized as one of the most trusted real estate groups in the region—is expanding its community-focused efforts with new programs designed to uplift teachers, support local families, and inspire connection throughout the East Valley.
A Mission Rooted in Real Experience
The team’s people-first approach began during the housing crisis, when they helped a family on the brink of foreclosure find stability and hope. That moment reshaped their identity: instead of simply guiding real estate transactions, they became advocates who stand beside people through life’s biggest transitions.
This perspective still drives everything they do today—and is a major reason Will Carter is known across the East Valley for his integrity, empathy, and unwavering commitment to those he serves.
Uplifting Teachers Through a Valley-Wide Supply Drive
Earlier this year, the Will Carter Team launched a community-wide school supply drive in support of educators who often spend their own money to provide for their classrooms. The team invited residents to nominate teachers who go above and beyond.
What followed was an outpouring of heartfelt stories. Instead of choosing only a few recipients, the team decided every nominated teacher deserved support. Nearly 50 bags of essential classroom supplies were delivered across the East Valley.
“Teachers give so much already,” Will Carter said. “Turning their impact into a competition didn’t feel right. Seeing each teacher’s reaction when they learned they all received supplies—that’s what keeps us grounded in our mission.”
Celebrating the Holidays With Purpose: Pictures With Santa
The team is now gearing up for its second annual Pictures with Santa event, organized in partnership with the Chandler Fire Department. Designed as a gesture of appreciation for past clients and community members, the event offers a day of games, crafts, treats, photos with Santa, and an opportunity to donate toys for families in need.
What began as a simple idea turned into a meaningful collaboration built on shared values of service and family support.
“It started as a casual conversation and quickly grew into something bigger than we expected,” Will shared. “We realized we both wanted to create something that genuinely helps families.”

A Business Built on Trust, Not Transactions
Unlike many real estate teams that focus heavily on sales metrics, the Will Carter Team prioritizes relationships first. Trust is at the core of their work, and it’s what keeps families returning when it matters most.
One example involves a family who regularly attended community events with no pressure to buy or sell. After months of positive experiences, they reached out to the team for help navigating a difficult housing situation. When the time finally came to purchase a home, they chose the Will Carter Team without hesitation.
This reflects the long-term connections that grow from consistency, kindness, and genuine care—values the team considers their most important measure of success.
Building a Stronger East Valley—One Act of Service at a Time
From the supply drive to the holiday event, each initiative reflects the team’s ongoing commitment to making the East Valley a more connected and supportive place to live. Looking ahead, the Will Carter Team plans to deepen their partnerships, expand their outreach, and continue showing up in ways that make a meaningful difference.
As Will puts it:
“Community doesn’t come from big announcements. It comes from showing up consistently, even when no one is watching. It’s about doing the right thing not for recognition, but because it’s the right thing to do.”
This belief continues to guide the team as they set new standards for service-first real estate in the East Valley.
