The Work Behind the Calendar
Veterans, organized — Douglas is a founding organizer of the Jacksonville chapter of VAREP (Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals); the chapter held its first meeting November 10, 2026, at Landmark Title, 7220 Financial Way, Jacksonville.
Homebuyer education — Douglas teaches VA homeownership at Florida State College at Jacksonville with the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs. No sales pitch — the same straight answers he gives his own borrowers.
Giving back — every December, Freeman Douglas joins local partners for the Toys for Tots holiday drive season, for the same families we help into homes all year — and sponsors the annual Invisible Wounds Poker Run, where 100% of proceeds fund veterans' mental health programs through Nautical Salute.
