Strengthening Relationships with Real Estate Practitioners: Lessons from CONVERGENCE
2:00 - 3:00 PM | June 25, 2025
This session—hosted in partnership with the National Association of Realtors—will highlight how CONVERGENCE partners in Columbus, Philadelphia, and Memphis are working with real estate professionals to build trust, strengthen referral networks, and expand the pipeline of diverse practitioners. Speakers will share actionable, real-world strategies on how these partnerships are helping close the racial homeownership gap through targeted education, community engagement, and cross-sector collaboration.
Solving This Together
"Housing affordability is an issue facing millions of Americans, both those who rent and those who want to buy a home. There is no easy solution. The only way we are going to solve this is by getting lenders together with policymakers, consumer advocates, community leaders, and other stakeholders, and using our collective knowledge and experience to find the answers."
