How can we work to ensure that homeownership is not only available but attainable? There are solutions. Join us Friday, May 21st for a special discussion on race, real estate and the contemporary effect of redlining on neighborhoods and residential property values.
Our guest speakers - Katie McKenna, Denver Market Director at Enterprise Community Partners and Jamar Hardy, a founder of Just Deeds and real estate broker at Edina Realty - will discuss how real estate practices, federal loan programs and even local ordinances combined to reinforce the process known of redlining, which may have been outlawed decades ago, but its effects are still very much evident to this day. This is your opportunity to learn how you and your business can grow while working to be part of the solution.

Comprehensive, affordable identity theft protection
Think about all the times you freely give businesses sensitive data like your name, date of birth or Social Security number. When you apply for a credit card, seek a new job or take out an insurance policy. Because we share personal details with others so often, it's imperative we think about the safety of that information. And it's become even more important in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic as more and more people file for unemployment or other government loans. The Federal Trade Commission* states they received 1.4 million reports of identity theft in 2020, double the number from 2019.
As a remember of NAR, you receive: FREE dark web scan report, 60% off full-service identity theft protection, recovery plans, child-monitoring plans; and 40% off the monthly retail price on a solution plan for small businesses.
