America’s population is changing, and so is the ratio of homeownership in the country. As the United States becomes more diverse, embracing diversity will help you gain clients, but failing to pay attention to it could lead to client loss.
I’m very excited to have the co-founder of CDS and one of the instructors, Julia Lashay. In this episode, we talked about diversity, why there’s been a void in real estate diversity when it comes to training, and briefly preview the seven modules covered in the CDS Designation.

“Be dedicated to building a diverse team. It leads to diverse perspectives and different approaches. When your team is representative of the community where you work, you can gain valuable consumer insights that can give your brokerage a positive edge.” -Michael LaFido
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔ Dimensions of Diversity - More Than Race:
A common misperception is that diversity and inclusion solely refer to racial considerations. While it might be the most visible factor, a truly diverse workforce embraces all dimensions of diversity (religion, sexual orientation, language, income, gender, et al).
✔ Fair Housing Do’s and Don'ts:
Every year, real estate agents make unintentional mistakes and violate Fair Housing laws by poor advertising of a property. The CDS Designation will cover advertising as it relates to Fair Housing, ensuring that your advertising isn't only just Fair Housing compliant, but also reaching a broader audience.
✔ Become a Social Equity Leader in Your Community:
Learn about social equity and making sure that there's fairness and housing for everyone. The CDS Designation will also cover all of the different things you can do to be a leader in your community. Being a social equity leader will give you a little bit of a social capital edge.
