Thank you to everyone that participated and good luck next time. A new challenge will be coming soon.

This week, we celebrate our Loopsters in honor of National Volunteer Appreciation Week. LoopNet has always been committed to giving back to our community, but where we really shine is through the heart and dedication of our employees.

Loopsters from our Monrovia Office often help out to the Union Station Homeless Service. Chris Wong and Rahima Young serve on the Community Board and you can often find Alex Rodriguez, Irina Osherova and many others hard at work buying, cooking, and serving meals every month… including Thanksgiving Day!

And it doesn’t stop there. When Art Fong isn’t busy fiddling with his Nikon camera, he travels south to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity. He may bring his camera with him but that doesn’t stop him from lending a helping hand.

Back up north in the San Francisco Office, you’ll find even more volunteers to amazing causes. Kelly Steitz has been helping out at the Avalon Academy and in early 2010, launched AbleCloset with Scott Hetherington, another Loopster. Across the office is Karina Otrokhova who has made an incredible impact with the San Francisco division of KEEN. The efforts continue with Wayne Phillips who just recruited a gaggle of Loopsters to participate in a Stadium Stampede for the Good Tidings Foundation.

LoopNet is honored to employ a list of stellar volunteers too long to post. If you would like information on a few of our employees’ stellar non-profits, please click any of the links below. Happy Volunteer Week!

Thanks for the input. We couldn’t do it without you.

LoopNet employees have been working overtime developing new tools for commercial real estate professionals. While we continue to invest in our business and challenge ourselves daily, every once in a while, we need to find an outlet to let off a bit of steam. Last Thursday was one of those days. And if you were in our San Francisco office, or across the street at AT&T Park, here are a few things you might have seen.

Rich Boyle, CEO, breaks out the Vespa and takes a 5 minute cruise around the office. Talk about an open door policy. At LoopNet, if you have a great idea to share or have a question, there’s no need to set up a meeting. Simply flag down the CEO as he does a lap around the office and you’re good to go.

Bryan Smith, VP of Sales and Client Services, takes advantage of our prime location in San Francisco. He, along with a few other Loopsters, use lunch as an opportunity to take a photo at AT&T Park, posing beside the World Series trophy. And why not? After all, Loopsters support our local team and we’re looking forward to another great season – even if it means sharing our restaurants and parking with all the baseball community.
