“You absolutely need to serve the Hispanic community, or else your business will not be set to succeed.” — Giovanna Murillo

It’s often said that a business should reflect the communities it serves. In this episode of the Real Estate Mailbag, we go beyond the platitude and dive into the real implications for real estate professionals.

Our powerhouse panel includes three leaders from the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), including a founding member of NAHREP Nashville. Eva Romero, Debra Beagle, and Giovanna Murillo join us to discuss what the rapidly growing Hispanic population means for Nashville’s real estate and cultural landscape.

We’ll unpack unique insights into working with Hispanic buyers and sellers, why this demographic is already essential to the market, and why its importance will only grow—especially since Tennessee boasts the fastest-growing Hispanic population in the U.S.

Our panelists also highlight key findings from NAHREP’s 2024 State of Hispanic Wealth Report, exploring the metrics of Hispanic wealth growth, the vital role of homeownership in building generational wealth, and why culturally competent, professional services are essential for serving this community.

Tune in to Real Estate Mailbag to hear from top real estate leaders, gain actionable insights, enjoy some laughs, and join us in celebrating the drive to win in real estate!

“It’s all about connections, no matter what you do. In real estate, especially in Nashville, it’s always good to be a part of the community that you’re selling homes in.” — @JordanHuffman

On this new episode of the Real Estate Mailbag, we welcome two rising stars on the Nashville Metropolitan Council who are experts in housing, zoning, the upcoming traffic referendum and the un-housed in our community.

This is a fascinating discussion for anyone interested in a deeper dive into how local laws, especially zoning laws, have profound structural ramifications on the local real estate market, especially for developers and those struggling to get into their first home. We learn about the structure of the Metro Council, the power individual council members have over zoning matters, and we also explore a fascinating piece of legislation Horton recently helped shepherd to successful passage by the Metro Council. These two councilmen also unpack the $3.1 billion transit bill that Nashvillians will go to the ballot to vote on November 5th, and explain why our listeners should vote "For" Nashville.
