The National Association of Real Estate Brokers, (NAREB), is a Real Estate Professional trade organization. We have local chapters across the country who embrace our ideals and mission of “promoting democracy in housing”. While our name suggests an organization of Real Estate Brokers, it is a professional real estate organization which includes membership from multiple disciplines in the real estate industry. We welcome professionals in all areas of real estate to join us and help promote our mission.

Our national goal is to bring together the nation’s minority professionals in the real estate industry to promote the meaningful exchange of ideas about our business and how best to serve our clientele. We strive to create an environment where creativity flourishes in both the workplace and the marketplace.

The vision for Region VII is to have leadership in each chapter that possesses a deep understanding of their roles and is capable of effectively achieving chapter goals. With such leadership in place, the chapters will flourish, attracting quality members and receiving adequate financial support. This support will enable the chapters to organize meaningful events and activities that align with NAREB's overarching mission of promoting Democracy in Housing.

By ensuring that chapter leaders are well-equipped and knowledgeable, Region VII aims to create a thriving environment where chapters can make a significant impact on their communities. These leaders will have a clear understanding of how their roles contribute to the broader objectives of NAREB and will work collaboratively to achieve shared goals.

Region VII chapters of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers are comprised of 7 major cities across 2 states consisting of Chattanooga, Jackson, Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, and Lexington. Our membership consists of over 500 real estate professionals. Combined we conduct over 100 events a year for minorities and the general public including but not limited to home buyer and seller education workshops, political advocacy and fair housing events, as well as educational workshops for real estate professionals. We pride ourselves on advocating for democracy in housing for all.

NAREB Region vii supports other organizations that align with our goals regarding fair housing, black professionals in real estate, and promoting homeownership for Black/African American families in our community.
