About Women's Council of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers Greater Detroit
Founded as a local chapter of the Women's Council of The National Association of Real Estate Brokers, Inc. (NAREB) in 2017, the Women's Council of Greater Detroit is rooted in a mission to address housing and socio-economic concerns affecting underserved and unserved communities throughout the Detroit area. We are part of NAREB's legacy—an organization established in 1947 by African American real estate professionals committed to securing equal housing opportunities for all Americans regardless of race, creed, or color. Our philosophy centers on the belief that successful women don't compete; they collaborate. We build generational wealth through financial literacy education, community advocacy, and homeownership opportunities that transform lives and families across Greater Detroit. Beyond professional services, we actively engage in community outreach programs including financial empowerment workshops, scholarship initiatives for youth, and charitable giving that reflects our commitment to our neighbors. Our members—referred to as REALTISTS—embrace a special charge in ensuring that communities of color and underserved populations receive dignified, respectful treatment in the housing market. By fostering leadership development, encouraging peer networking, and supporting collaborative partnerships with aligned organizations, we work toward our ultimate goal: democracy in housing. The Women's Council of Greater Detroit represents not just a professional organization, but a movement toward equitable access and sustainable prosperity for all Detroit residents.
