Black History Month
Black History Month is a time dedicated to the remembrance of overcoming adversity and the accomplishments of Black people throughout history.
Meet ABoR Strategic Partner Austin Association of Real Estate Brokers (AAREB) dba Austin Black Real Estate Professionals!
ABREP's mission is to provide career development opportunities for all real estate professionals in Central Texas, promote ‘Democracy in Housing’ and homeownership within the community, and serve the underserved and underrepresented.
