The Hispanic population is the fastest-growing population in terms of home ownership. Lisa Ortiz-Rodriguez joins us to explain what that means for real estate agents and communities.
Lisa is the co-founder of KW CHISPA, Coalition of Hispanics for Progressive Action, a Hispanic resource inside Keller Williams. Its goal is to network, advocate, mastermind, educate, and uplift KW Hispanic associates, although all KW agents are welcome to join their activities. It also does grassroots education in the Latino community about wealth building through real estate.
One in four real estate transactions among Hispanic people in the US is done completely in Spanish. But language isn’t the only factor at play. Tune in to learn about the unique aspects of wealth building in the Hispanic community.

Melanie Miller knew she wanted to be a real estate professional when she was a kid. She watched Egypt Sherrod on TV every day. When Melanie started her family, she and her husband bought a multi-family unit. Melanie is now a two-time top producer with the Chicago Association of Realtors. She achieved this all under the age of thirty. Melanie is our guest on the show today. She explains how she has been able to succeed so quickly.
When you hear about Melanie’s success in real estate, it’s no surprise that she’s a 2024 National Association of Realtors 30 under 30 honoree. Today, we dig into the “how” behind the success. For Melanie, it all comes down to finding your authentic niche. She leveraged her firsthand experience with multi-family units to create a niche for herself. Now Melanie doesn’t even have to go out and find clients. They message her on social media because they see her as a multi-family expert.
No matter how old you are, Melanie has wisdom for you. Take a listen and identify what your own authentic niche is!

Tiffany Curry’s grandmother taught her how to read before she even went to kindergarten. She instilled in Tiffany the life lesson that if Tiffany’s education was where it needed to be and if she knew what she needed to know, she would never be inferior in any room. Tiffany learned the lesson well—she now owns the first 100% black-owned Berkshire Hathaway franchise, and she is one of the most powerful real estate executives in the US.
Tiffany joins us today to share her life story and business strategies. We talk about learning before earning and what’s needed to create a good learning environment. We also talk about the importance of confidence and putting people, not money, first.
Finally, we dive into the intricacies of owning a franchise. She explains her decisions around office space, managing a team, and growing globally.
Tiffany is one of the most well-educated, thoughtful real estate professionals you’ll ever come across. Enjoy this interview.

Today, Rashuana Scott leads a real estate investor community called “Flippin’ In Heels,” but it all started when she was wearing safer shoes on abandoned lots. Rashauna is our guest in this episode. She’s here to share her real estate journey and advice on personal and community investments.
Rashuana got her lending license at age 18. She never stopped learning and growing from there. The investment formula she learned along the way was: find it, fund it, flip it, and exit. She explains how to identify and capture value at each stage of that formula.
We dissect how group economics can have a positive impact but how it can also hold us back. Rashuana teaches us her approach to community investments, including how to have tough conversations.

Don’t worry—we dive into the details of each one of these to bring Gary’s teachings to life for you. Everyone in real estate, and even outside the industry, will find something helpful in it for their own life.

The Color of Money Podcast is back for Season 2. We're diving into new strategies and amplifying voices that are shaping the future of financial empowerment of people of color. We're bringing you fresh conversations with barrier-breaking entrepreneurs, neighborhood transformers, and thought leaders, challenging the status quo. We're not just talking about wealth; we're creating it together. Join us every week for the conversations that empower you to take the next step in your financial journey.
Recently, we convened at the annual Keller Williams Mega Agent Camp, and more specifically, as the KW Black Real Estate Network (BREN). In today's episode, we reflect on that experience.
At the KW BREN events, we found a space to build deeper relationships, feel our value, be celebrated, share common struggles, be reenergized, exchange knowledge and resources, and remember our own definitions of success. We each share our stories of how this network supported us and how we, in turn, supported others.
This podcast is part of that connection. We are grateful for each other as hosts, and we are grateful for you, our listeners. We hope you feel reenergized by this conversation and that you'll share this show with anyone who wants to be part of growing this network.

As real estate agents, sometimes we get so busy helping our clients build their wealth that we neglect our own wealth-building journey. That’s why we’re re-publishing our episode with Brett Tanner, Head Coach of the KW Wealth Community (this time with video).
Outside of private companies, real estate is the number one asset of wealthy people. Brett explains that real estate agents have an unfair advantage when it comes to this kind of wealth investment– and that’s a good thing.
Join us as we discuss the skills and mindset agents need to build their personal wealth today.

An episode so nice that we had to publish it twice—this time with video.
Ryan Butler was our guest on our show in 2023 and will soon be featured in Keller Williams' new video series about role models in the industry. So, in honor of the occasion, we dug back into the archives and found the video recording of the episode.
Ryan Butler is not just any real estate mogul; he's part of the real deal, the Coalition Properties Group. If you're in the Maryland, DC, or Virginia area, you've probably heard of them. Over the last four years, they've sold 1100 homes, closing over 500 million in volume. Ryan shares his inspiring journey from Mississippi to becoming a top real estate agent in Washington, D.C. He also talks about how his team has given over a million dollars to charity.
Ryan emphasizes the benefits of owning real estate, such as financial security and retirement income, and provides practical advice on financing options like NACA. He also highlights the importance of building a strong team and working together to achieve greater success. We also discuss the value of community involvement and the power of group economics in real estate investments.
Be sure to head over to The Color of Money playlist on the Keller Williams Realty YouTube channel to watch this episode on the big (or small) screen.

Today, we welcome all-star guest Nicole Ambrose back to the show. Yes, she is one of the top 1% real estate agents in the nation, but she has also become an impressive developer and coach. Nicole joins us again to tell us about her career evolution and how others can follow her path.
We dive into how to harness the power of gentrification to develop wealth for people of color. Nicole teaches us how to investigate city and county permits and planning years before any physical evidence of development appears. She explains how to find a good general contractor and how to manage all the moving pieces involved in flipping and building. She also explains how to pick the investors that you team up with.
Nicole’s coaching and developer career is based on a foundation of hard-won wisdom and self-discipline. She has achieved high levels of success, and she has the receipts to prove it.
