The National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) announced that it will hold its 2024 Black Wealth Summit at Clark Atlanta University on Nov. 15 and a Building Black Wealth community event the next day, Nov. 16.

“NAREB is the leading voice of Black real estate professionals, and we are unyielding in our pursuit of advancing Black homeownership and wealth in America,” said Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose. “Our annual summits provide data and information that bolsters these causes while urging stakeholders, from mortgage lenders to government policymakers, to support efforts to bring equity to all communities.”

At the Black Summit, NAREB will provide a platform for national leaders, including forums on several comprehensive studies commissioned by the organization. One study examines appraisal bias and the impact of recent government and private sector efforts to curtail it. The second study targets an issue that has been quietly plaguing Black communities for decades: the dispersal of heirs property and how to curb its devastating impact.  

In addition, the 2024 State of Housing in Black America (SHIBA) study will provide an extensive analysis of Black homeownership and the historical barriers African Americans have faced when seeking to purchase a home.
