Do Good Day: Giving Back to Honor a Legacy

Do Good Day began as something simple—a small-town real estate company trying to make an impact in the community, while honoring the life of a loved one. It was born out of grief, at a time when there were no words to fully express the loss of someone taken too soon. 

But from that grief, something powerful emerged. 

What started as a small act of service has grown into a company-wide movement—one that continues to make a lasting impact on the communities around us. With over 50 participants across multiple markets, we don’t just improve neighborhoods—we strengthen people, relationships, and the purpose behind what we do every day. 

On Thursday, September 17th, Auben Realty employees across our markets will close their laptops, pause their phones and emails, and step away from their daily responsibilities to give back. We set out with a shared goal: to make a difference in a way that was both meaningful and purposeful. 

Some of us might pick up trash along city streets. Others might serve at animal shelters or volunteer in local schools. Each act, big or small, will contribute to something greater than ourselves. 

Do Good Day is a twice-a-year event that honors the life of our founder, Tyson Schuetze’s sister, Laura Schuetze. Laura lived a life centered on caring for others, and through this day, we carry that same spirit forward. 

Because through service, we don’t just honor a legacy – we continue it.
