REAL Broker's Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A Culture of Belonging
I’ve been in the real estate business for a while now and I’ve seen my fair share of brokerages. What sets REAL Broker apart is their DEI. It’s not just a buzzword for them, it’s a core value that’s ingrained in the company. But what does that look like in practice? Let me show you my experience with REAL Broker and how their DEI is real.
From the moment I joined REAL Broker I could tell. The onboarding was smooth and I was plugged into a diverse and vibrant community. REAL Broker goes out of their way to make every new broker feel important and supported no matter what their background. That first experience set the tone for my time with the company and confirmed I made the right decision to join an inclusive brokerage.
First of all I was blown away by the diversity within the company. REAL Broker actively recruits and promotes people from all ethnicities, genders and backgrounds. This isn’t just for show, it’s a commitment to equal opportunities for all. Seeing people who look like me and come from similar backgrounds in leadership positions is super inspiring and motivating.
REAL Broker knows that promoting DEI isn’t a one time effort but an ongoing journey. They have regular training sessions and workshops on diversity, equity and inclusion. These sessions are designed to educate brokers on the importance of DEI, challenge biases and foster a culture of understanding and respect. Through these I’ve gained valuable insights and tools to better serve my clients and contribute to a more inclusive industry.
REAL Broker’s commitment to DEI extends to their business practices as well. They make sure their marketing materials, communication strategies and client interactions are inclusive and respectful. That means using language that’s welcoming to all, representing diverse communities in marketing campaigns and being mindful of cultural sensitivities. By incorporating inclusive practices into every part of their business Real Broker is setting the bar high for the industry.
