NAREB Western Washington Realtist

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” - Marcus Garvey. Congratulations to President of Western Washington Realtist Lyle Crews for showing us all how to consistently move forward, year after year, and now earning his Doctorate and new title, Dr. Lyle Crews, PhD. The Realtist are hella proud of you sir!!!! Your Brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., say YO! good Brother! #education #educationmatters #doctorate #realestate #Realtist #KappaAlphaPsi #nareb

I’ve been invited by WA REALTORS to speak on a panel at their Leadership Conference regarding our work and commitment to Democracy in Housing and providing Homeonwership opportunities to the entire Black community here in Washington State. As 1st VP of Western Washington Realtist, I’m honored to share the challenges and struggles we face as well as the Many victories, but more importantly, how we ALL, every Realtor and Realtist have something powerful to contribute to this conversation - we get to change lives! Now give me that damn mic lol #Realestate #DemocracyInHousing #HousingForAll #windermere #IChooseThis

Eventually you find yourself in “the room” and it’s no longer, “how did I get here?” It becomes, “Of course I’m here, I put in the work and the door was opened for me.” I’m honored to serve as 1st VP alongside our Past President Nicole Bascomb, current President Lyle Crews and 2nd VP Jasmyn D Jefferson for Western Washington Realtist as we work towards Democracy in Housing! It’s been a long time since we were all together. It felt good. The work we’re doing is simply BIG in Washington, and i’m excited to be a part of it! #changingwholecommunities #Realtist #DemocracyInHousing

Western Washington Realtist wishes the happiest of birthdays to our illustrious leader and President, Lyle Crews. Have the best day ever!!!! #Nareb #YRD #WWR

WWR continues to honor Women's History Month. Madame C.J. Walker invested in real estate and built a grand mansion for herself and her daughter. It served as cultural hub for the African American community. We place honor on those that came before us and paved the way through homeownership! #womenhistorymonth #nareb #realestategoals #womeninrealestate

In honor of Women's History Month - WWR acknowledges Dorothy Dandridge - more than just the first African American woman nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, she made significant strides in real estate by purchasing a home in a historically segregated neighborhood of LA in the 1950s. We acknowlege her power in front of and behind the camera lens! #womenhistorymonth #nareb #realestategoals #womeninrealestate
