Minneapolis has long had one of the largest home ownership gaps in the country. In the last five years, though, that gap has started to shrink. Black home ownership is slowly on the rise. Tre Adams of the Signature Group Real Estate team is part of the reason why. He’s here today to tell us how he’s been successful in helping first-time Black homebuyers in the Minneapolis area.

Tre is an example of how powerful a real estate professional can be, not only in changing individual lives, but moving the needle on major social issues. He comes to the job equipped– he’s ready to talk about credit scores, down payment assistance programs, and anything else that can help somebody get closer to their goal of owning a home. He surrounds himself with a team of people as passionate about closing the home ownership gap as he is: Loan officers, title professionals, etc.

Just like the homeownership gap was intentionally created through racist laws and practices, we can do our part to intentionally close it. Our conversation with Tre will inspire and equip you to take on this challenge.
