About Us
OUR MISSION
The goal of the Greater Cincinnati Realtist Association is to bring together the Cincinnati'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 creavity flourishes in both the workplace and the marketplace.
To service our target market, we ensure that training and educational opportunities are available to our entire membership across the many diciplines 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.
Based on the segregation that occurred after World War II, social segregation had become intolerable. It was through those times that the Civil Rights movement began, giving “African Americans inspiration, confidence, strength and hope for a better America.” And, within those times, the National Association of Real Estate Brokers – NAREB was formed.
The Greater Cincinnati Realtist Association, continues the same dedication. The Greater Cincinnati Realtist Association is looking to become the voice of the unserved and underservered members of our community. We make sure people have access to information in order to ensure the best buying and selling situations.
The Greater Cincinnati Realtist Association is proud of our past, relentless in our struggle, and 100% dedicated to the REALTIST creed which is "Democracy in Housing.” The Greater Cincinnati Realtist Association is focused on making sure that people in the Greater Cincinnati area are fairly represented. With Democracy in Housing being our guide, we are relentless in Reimagining the Dream of Homeownership through Advocacy, Activism and Action.
WHAT IS A REALTIST
A Realtist of GCRA is a NAREB member who represents all professional disciplines within the real estate industry. As with the NAREB, a GCRA member "promotes the highest standards of professional integrity and follows a strict code of real estate industry ethics".
We, as Realtists have been entrusted with and are committed to make certain that communities of color are treated with equality, dignity and respect. So in a very real sense, we are “Reimagining the Dream of Homeownership through Advocacy, Activism and Action”.
