About Consolidated Board of Realtists of Southern California, Inc.
In 1949, a group of young dynamic African-American real estate Brokers gathered to discuss the inequitable and prejudicial treatment of Brokers in the Los Angeles area. African-American Brokers in Los Angeles were being denied membership in local real estate boards and trade organizations.
In addition, they were being prevented from marketing properties in certain areas of the city and even denied access to open houses for viewing by their clients. It was patently clear to this group of Brokers assembled that a collective effort would be required to mitigate these obstacles to their professional success.
Consolidated Board of Realtists works with a number of real estate groups, civil rights organizations, fair and equal housing advocates, and financial services institutions to create homeownership for African Americans and other minorities.
Consolidated Board of Realtists offers Realtist-only listing opportunities to assist with doing business with others within the organization.
Consolidated Board of Realtists offers an opportunity to be a part of the oldest real estate trade association that has a professional real estate network located throughout the United States all working to ensure “Democracy in Housing.
Consolidated Board of Realtists provides tools for our Realtists to meet today’s real estate challenges with training, certifications, and designations to keep up with the current times.
Consolidated Board of Realtists provides links to experts from a broad spectrum of real estate industry disciplines and affiliates.
As the membership of the Board grew, its focus as a proponent of fair treatment of African-American brokers and agents in the real estate industry and equal housing opportunities for minorities expanded. In 1975, the Consolidated Realty Board was a catalyst for legislative actions against the redlining practices of the lending and insurance industries. As an affiliate of the California Association of Real Estate Brokers (CAREB) and National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), the Consolidated Realty Board remains an advocate for social, political, and economic parity for minority real estate industry professionals and community members.
