Latinas in Real Estate/Investments

Our Latinas in Real Estate/Investments circle seeks to provide a space for our Latina community members to continue to share ideas about the real estate market, provide insightful tips on accessing the real estate market and investments, and continue to collaborate on best practices and resources available for Latinas in real estate and investments. Per the Urban Institute, "by 2030 Hispanics will be responsible for 56% of new homeownership gains. However, those employed within the real estate and housing industries are not reflective of this burgeoning demographic. Current estimates indicate that 4% of mortgage professionals and 7% of real estate agents are Hispanic. Approximately 25% of Hispanic buyers say they prefer to work with a real estate agent who can assist them in Spanish." Overall, Latinas are not represented in such statistics even though we make a majority of the buying decisions in the household. Our goal is to provide an engaging forum to share information on real estate and investments, both locally and nationwide. We want to share ideas and opportunities while providing a network for new and professional investors to continue to learn from shared experiences and ongoing resources. We hope to expand to a live professional investment panel setting in the near future.
