Why work with a Black Owned Company?
Here are 3 reasons why you should support Black-Owned Businesses:
- Celebrates Black Culture and Serves the Community – Many Black entrepreneurs start businesses inspired by the richness of African American culture itself and many Black-owned businesses are created to bring access to services specific to the community’s needs.
- Closes the Racial Wealth Gap – We can trace the origins of today’s racial wealth gap to Jim Crow-era practices like redlining that segregated African Americans from homeowner ownership opportunities that ultimately prevented wealth building.
- Empowers and Strengthens Local Economies – When Black-owned businesses flourish, so do their local economies.
Can’t I simply use resources found on the internet to purchase and sale real estate on my own?
Yes, it’s possible, however it can be very time consuming and it’s difficult to know if you are legally compliant. Errors and omissions can be costly and it is often more efficient and prudent to hire a real estate professional from the beginning.
Keeping in mind the number of years of education and experience, it can be challenging for the average person to Blance that skill level. At the very least, those that choose to go at it independently should consult with a real estate expert to develop a customized real estate investment strategy that she/her can implement solo.
How do you approach working with clients?
We all have different financial goals. No two real estate strategies are completely the same, nor should they be. We will start by learning as much as we can about your current goals, aspirations, and finances. The goal is to customize a real estate strategy that is most suitable for you.
