Become an Ambassador
As real estate agents learn more about the wealth gap between Black and white families, and how real estate and lending has played and continues to play a part in systemic oppression, there is a desire to be part of the solution.
Learn more by browsing our education materials for real estate industry professionals, and how you can help affect change through the Ambassador Program. Agents ready to become an ambassador can complete the commitment form.
Brokers
Real estate brokers can also participate. Participating brokers agree to help their agents make contributions to the down payment fund. We are working with all local firms and encourage you to contact our team (info@ownitbbw.com) to start a conversation.
