About AREAAFounded in 2003, Asian Real
Estate Association of America (AREAA) is a national professional
trade organization dedicated to closing the homeownership gap
facing the Asian Pacific American (APA) community.
AREAA will
accomplish this mission by:
Advocating for policy positions at
the national level that will reduce homeownership barriers facing
the APA community.
Increasing business opportunities for
mortgage and real estate professionals that serve this growing
community.
Who We AreAREAA's membership
represents a broad array of real estate, mortgage and
housing-related professionals that serve the diverse Asian Pacific
American market. With members that serve nearly all segments of the
Asian American population, AREAA is the only national trade
association dedicated to representing the interest of the Asian
real estate market throughout the country.
Expanding
Homeownership Opportunities and Supporting Business Growth
AREAA
will pursue initiatives that will expand homeownership
opportunities for more APA families, increase business
opportunities for our members, and deliver tangible results for our
national partners.
Over the next two decades, APAs will be one
of the fastest growing population in the country. Because most APAs
are largely first generation Americans, they face significant
language, cultural and knowledge barriers which have kept the
homeownership rate relatively unchanged over the past two decades.
AREAA will initiate national and regional efforts to address these
challenges.
The BoardAREAA is governed by a
24-member Board of Directors, which seats a diverse group of
leaders from a variety of real estate, mortgage and other
housing-related companies located throughout the United States.
AREAA's Board members have demonstrated a history of effectively
serving the Asian Pacific American
community.
Professional RecognitionAREAA
will be recognizing an outstanding member of the real estate
industry through the first Annual Real Estate Person of the Year
Award.
