The Dearborn Realtist Board (www.chicagorealtist.com) has a rich history. The organization was formed in Chicago, in 1941 by African American Real estate professionals out of a need to secure the right to equal housing opportunities, regardless of race, creed, or color. For more than 72 years, DREB has participated in meaningful legal challenges and has supported legislative initiatives that ensures the availability of fair and affordable housing for all.
“The partnership DAWGS has formed with The Dearborn Realtist Board is an important one. Both organizations have demonstrated their commitment to ensuring equal housing opportunities are afforded to all Americans.” states Steve Werner representative at the event and Director of Business Development at DAWGS (www.dawgsinc.com).
