IN THE NEWS
As a real estate agent and housing counselor, Shanta Patton has experienced the barriers to homeownership facing Las Vegas’ Black community firsthand and is looking to help even the playing field.
“The National Association of Realtors [NAR] Code of Ethics does not allow us to speak ill, or sway a buyer one way or the other,” Patton-Golar says. “That’s a really slippery slope, and for this particular agent, for them to push for a lender that they had investment in is a definite no-no.
“It takes billions of dollars out of the Black community,” said Patton-Golar. “It hurts everything, it hurts our ability to pay for college for our kids, it hurts our ability to put more money away for our retirement, it hurts our ability to move to other areas that may have better schools.”
In a game of Monopoly, the best way for you to win is to at least get your piece on the board.
“Discussing the decline in Black homeownership is a task I take very seriously Patton-Golar said. Educating my fellow real estate professionals about the history and solutions to this important matter elevates our profession and allows for open and honest dialogue. Speaking to groups about these issues, especially during Black History Month, is extremely rewarding and important to furthering the conversation.”
Las Vegas
Coalition
25,000 Black families buy their own home over the next 10 years to close the Black homeownership gap in Southern Nevada.
Closing the Las Vegas Black homeownership gap can only be made possible by our community coming together to raise awareness of the issue and promote resources like down-payment assistance funds and housing coaching to help as many Black families as possible by their home.
