The historical structure of real estate, unconscious biases, and hiring approaches all promote the social and economic inequity that continues to exist today—within and beyond the real estate industry. In an echo for more transparency with communities of color, education provides a more holistic outlook towards diversity.

Collete English Dixon, Executive Director of the Marshall Bennett Institute of Real Estate at Roosevelt University, discusses how education can diversify and expand the talent pipeline for real estate hiring and culture. In order to attract a truly diverse pool of talent, it is important to be intentional when setting routes for career success.
