NAREB-Twin Cities

NAREB-Twin Cities The Premier Network of Black Real Estate Professionals We welcome professionals in all areas of real estate to join us and help promote our mission.

WHO WE ARE

The National Association of Real Estate Brokers, (NAREB), is a Real Estate Professional trade organization. We have local chapters across the country who embrace our ideals and mission of “promoting democracy in housing”. While our name suggests an organization of Real Estate Brokers, it is a professional real estate organization which includes membership from multiple disciplines in t

he real estate industry. Our national goal is to bring together the nation’s minority professionals in the real estate industry to promote the meaningful exchange of ideas about our business and how best to serve our clientele. We strive to create an environment where creativity flourishes in both the workplace and the marketplace. To service our target market, we ensure training and educational opportunities are available to our entire membership across the many disciplines we represent, providing certifications and special designations in many areas of interest. Our ability to professionally service our client base is the foundation by which we operate. Our organization was founded in 1947, making it the oldest minority professional trade association in America. It was formed out of a need to secure the right to equal housing opportunities regardless of race, creed, or color. Since its inception, we have participated in meaningful challenges and legislative activities, to establish fair housing for all. NAREB is governed by a board of directors and an executive committee comprised of members and leaders in the industry from across America. Each local chapter continuously accepts new members to join and actively become community real estate leaders. We are currently updating features on our website including membership. Please visit the Join NAREB Page for information on how to contact a chapter near you.

Knowledge. Preparation. Community. 🏡

Every opportunity to learn is an opportunity to better serve our families, our clients, and our communities.

Our recent conversation around wills, trusts, and protecting what we build was another reminder that real estate is about more than the transaction—it’s also about understanding how we create, protect, and pass down wealth for generations to come.

And we’re keeping the conversation going.

Join NAREB Twin Cities this Thursday, August 13, from 3:00–4:30 PM for our REALTIST® Expert Panel, where we’ll continue bringing together professionals, perspectives, and resources that help strengthen our community.

Stay connected. There’s more to come.

At NAREB Twin Cities, our mission is to educate, empower, and advocate for sustainable homeownership because creating generational wealth starts with preparation.💛

5 Common Mistakes First-Time Homebuyers Make (and how to avoid them!) Buying your first home is exciting… but walking into the process without the right education, resources, and team can cost you time, money, and opportunities. 💡

Before you start your home search, make sure you’re NOT making these mistakes:

❌ 1. Not working with a trusted real estate professional
A knowledgeable REALTOR® helps protect your interests, negotiate for you, and guide you through every step.

❌ 2. Looking at homes before getting pre-approved
Your pre-approval helps you understand your budget, buying power, and positions you as a serious buyer. 🔑

❌ 3. Skipping the home inspection
A home inspection gives you knowledge about the property and helps you make informed decisions before closing.

❌ 4. Not planning for ALL buyer expenses
Your down payment is only one piece. Prepare for inspections, closing costs, and other expenses.

❌ 5. Buying more house than your budget allows
The goal is not just to buy a home — it’s to comfortably KEEP your home and build wealth. 🏠✨
