CAR has turned the annual REALTOR® conference and expo, REimagine! Real Estate, into a virtual event this year to bring you the info you need to tackle the issues you’re facing right now. Along with lead gen, branding and marketing, two issues at the forefront of real estate currently are CA’s homeownership gap and addressing implicit bias. And we’re going to discuss these issues with the help of some first-class speakers at the free virtual conference in October:
Closing California’s Homeownership Gap: Let’s Do This
The homeownership rate for white Californians is 63 percent; for Latinx and Black Californians, that number drops to 44 and 34 percent, respectively. What can we do to narrow those gaps? This panel of experts breaks down how the problem got so bad and how lending solutions can help fix it.
Speakers:
- Noerena Limon, SVP of Public Policy and Industry Relations, The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals
