REALTORS Having Meaningful Impact

LOUISIANA REALTORS • June 17, 2020

Message From National Association of Realtors Vince Malta


Some are calling these troubling times. For REALTORS®, however, I call this a time when we can have a meaningful impact. It's a time for us to be leaders around the issues of community, race, and inclusion.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch the two-part video I recorded last week, part of our "Pivot in Place" video series. In it, I highlight the significant new steps we're taking in the areas of equal housing opportunity and community rebuilding, and I encourage brokerages to initiate conversations within their own companies about how they can deliver on the promise of racial equality and inclusivity.

 

As REALTORS®, we're constantly evolving our practices to be in tune with changes in the economic and technology landscape – and now, of course, with health and safety protocols. If we put our entrepreneurial mindset toward healing the racial divide, just think what we can accomplish for the good of our industry, our citizens, and our country.


Thank you.

Vince Malta
