WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, August 9, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) celebrated its NAREB Top 100 honorees during its 75th annual convention, recognizing outstanding Realtist members who epitomize excellence. Among these achievers, 50 individual brokers/agents, 12 teams, and 5 commercial brokers collectively executed transactions exceeding $1.8 billion in value throughout 2022.
“We anticipate that the $1.8 billion in production will inspire more Black real estate professionals and companies to join our organization and become NAREB Realtists, as we help Black families overcome obstacles in closing the wealth gap in America through homeownership and real estate and mortgage careers,” said C. Renee Wilson, NAREB’s executive director.
NAREB expressed gratitude for the valued partnership of Dionne Cuello, Citibank’s SVP of National Diverse Market Segments, and Branch Vice President/Managing Broker Irving Cham of Coldwell Banker for their support of the NAREB Top 100 event.
Further, NAREB has created a NAREB Top 100 Institute, and sponsors are establishing career development programs for those who have applied for Top 100 Awards. Those who have won the designation can enroll in specialty programs, while other programs are for those who want to improve their performance. Coldwell Banker is the first to develop courses, such as ‘How To Become A Luxury Agent;’ ‘Balancing Units and Volume;’ ‘How To Increase Your GCI;’ ‘Overcoming Industry Challenges;’ ‘Leveraging Technology to Grow Your Business;’ ‘Implementing Systems to Grow Your Business;’ ‘How To Transition From Agent to a Business Owner.’
“There are many employment opportunities in real estate,” said Wilson. “As an organization, we help recruit and train Blacks to excel in the industry. We also inform the industry about the many contributions Blacks are making. We are overcoming the racial barriers that can prevent Blacks from succeeding.”
The trailblazing Top 100 event on Thursday, 8/3/23, at NAREB’s convention in Houston was entitled Black Wall Street Reimagined. The convention recognized the achievements of the best and brightest Blacks in real estate and cited the industry’s wealth-generating opportunities.
“This is a celebration of excellence, a spotlight on innovation, and a testament to the outstanding contributions Black agents make to the real estate industry,” said Lydia Pope, NAREB’s immediate past president. “NAREB TOP 100 Awards signifies our unwavering commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and empowerment in the real estate realm.”
Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose, the NAREB’s new president, agreed, “The Awards were historic, memorable, and transformative. They will shape the future of real estate in America as more Blacks join the ranks after realizing the opportunities to succeed. We welcome the beginning of an extraordinary journey where Blacks earn acknowledgment of their success, which in turn encourages more people to join the field.”
