NYS Senator Gaughran Awards Proclamation to Homes By Mara Owner

Syosset, NY / Woodbury, NY; February 11, 2020 – Woodbury resident Mara Navaretta, Founder and Owner of Homes By Mara Realty in Syosset, NY, was recently recognized for the many ways has made and continues to make a difference in the lives of others and in her community by New York State Senator James Gaughran (5th District), who presented Navaretta with a New York State Proclamation in honor of her humanitarian contributions and initiatives.

Senator Gaughran decided to award Navaretta this special NYS Proclamation after learning of her great work in the community and feeling that she deserved to be commended for her tremendous charitable and business accomplishments.

“Mara Navaretta is a dedicated, community-driven small business owner and successful entrepreneur whose outstanding achievements in her first decade of business have made her an exceptional and accomplished business person. This is only of the many reasons why I am so proud to represent this District,” said Senator Gaughran.

He added, “It's important that local businesspeople like Mara remain engaged with our communities and charitable organizations.”

Navaretta is thrilled to have received this special recognition from Senator Gaughran. “In being presented this Proclamation from Senator Gaughran, it is an indicator that I am fulfilling what I am committed to doing when it comes to supporting people in need and my community. This focus has been a hallmark for me and my agency from the very beginning and is something I plan to continue doing for years ahead with the current causes we are currently involved with as well as new causes we come across.”

Since courageously taking the leap in going entrepreneur in starting her own boutique real estate agency, Homes By Mara Realty, during a turbulent market in 2010, with only just five agents serving Long Island's North Shore homebuyers and sellers that today has grown to approximately over 60 agents, Navaretta has all along made it her business to make a difference for people in need while supporting her community. Among the many ways she has given back when and where needed are through the organization of coat and toy drives, special Hurricane collection drives, participation in The Ashley Wade Foundation Pajama Drive, donations made to North Shore Animal League and providing her agency parking lot for its 40’ Mobile Adoption Unit, participation in Blanca’s House Food and Toy Drives, and regularly donating thousands of dollars to the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation each year.
