Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
The National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals (NAGLREP) in partnership with Realogy, the largest full-service residential real estate services company in the United States and a pioneering member of NAGLREP, will recognize Pride Month 2020 with a multi-faceted, on-demand virtual series of events for real estate professionals to celebrate courage through adversity. Featuring various sessions with top real estate influencers in the LGBT+ community throughout the month of June, the advocacy will conclude with an interactive “True Colors” virtual Pride parade on June 30.
“Pride Month is more than a chance to celebrate; it is an opportunity for change and a time we can reflect on the history of the LGBT movement, the challenges the community still faces and how far we’ve come,” said Jeff Berger, founder, president and CEO of NAGLREP. “While it is impossible to duplicate the emotional experience of hearing millions cheer along Pride parade routes, our event will empower NAGLREP members to interact with friends in the real estate industry, have some fun and share their Pride in a unique way. We will continue to showcase why the Equality Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to Federal Fair Housing Law, promotes and protects equality and fairness for the LGBTQ+ real estate market.
NAGLREP’s “True Colors” Pride parade and its supporting events are made possible through a partnership with Realogy, whose industry-leading brands were founding members of NAGLREP. Events will also enjoy representation from all NAGLREP partners, including Realogy’s well-known real estate brands, industry media and financial institutions.
NAGLREP’s public Pride Month events will include:
NAGLREP will also run a series of virtual chapter events featured on their Facebook page, headlined by top local LGBT+ leaders and agent panels, including:
“In an effort to bring us closer together during this unprecedented time, it is an honor to represent our valued LGBT+ real estate professionals through this year’s unique Pride Month 2020 series of events,” said Sherry Chris, president and CEO of the Realogy Expansion Brands. “With Realogy and NAGLREP leading the way, we continue on the journey together in support of H.R. 1447 amending the Fair Housing Act to include LGBTQ+ as protected classes. Boasting the same pioneering spirit that originally formed NAGRLEP, these events will be brought to the fore for this month of advocacy and thought leadership.”
Realogy and its well-known industry brands including Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate, CENTURY 21®, Coldwell Banker®, Corcoran®, ERA® and Sotheby's International Realty® are founding partners of NAGLREP, helping lead the industry through various internal and external efforts in driving the message of equality in the real estate industry.
