Real Estate is a great career, but it is conducted much

In this Episode Michael talks with Samantha Enos V.P. of Dei for Windermere Real Estate. 

We cover. 

Community

We want to play an active role in supporting historically marginalized groups by investing more heavily in our BIPOC neighbors and empowering our local franchise owners and agents to be active in their communities. Windermere’s support and investment in those communities will reflect local priorities and help close opportunity gaps.

Home Ownership

Home ownership is a pathway to building generational wealth and stable communities. For too long, home ownership has been kept out of reach for many Black, Indigenous and Communities of Color. We seek to redefine home equity, deploy a data-driven strategy, intentionally reduce barriers for historically excluded populations, and work proactively to generate new opportunities to home ownership for historically underrepresented and marginalized people.

Leadership

Building a stronger organization takes more than recruiting diverse talent. Leadership must pave the way in building an inclusive culture that inspires people to stay and thrive. Our senior management team recognizes how critical it is to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion for the success of our company, communities, and future homeowners. Our unique company structure provides leadership opportunities at headquarters, as well as the regional, office, and individual-agent levels.

Culture 

Our people are our greatest asset. We commit to being intentional in cultivating a culture of belonging and inclusion, with a focus on greater diversity at all levels of the organization. A company that reflects the communities it serves can better meet the needs of current and future customers.
