Real estate pros are a diverse bunch, let’s find more

There’s no typical person in the real estate and mortgage industries; professionals come from diverse backgrounds and a new initiative aims to shout about that.

Career Building Communities is a collaboration of 29 real estate organizations, representing more than 10 million jobs, with the mission to highlight diverse career paths available in the industry.

Through its website careerbuildingcommunities.org the alliance hopes to help fill the million of jobs available in the sector and attract talent including students, educators, career changers and others to explore the unlimited opportunities in real estate careers.

The Mortgage Bankers Association, Realtors Land Institute, CoreNet Global, Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate, and National Multifamily Housing Council, are among those wo have joined the initiative.

"Nobody grows up saying they want to be a corporate real estate executive," says Angela Cain, Chief Executive Officer of CoreNet Global, "This new website is the perfect starting point for raising awareness about a dynamic career most job seekers don't even know exists. CoreNet Global is proud be part of the coalition of real estate-related associations focused on building a pipeline of talent."
