Clear Capital increases commitment to better serve today's rapidly changing housing market

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 28, 2021 / The National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America (NAMMBA) today announced a partnership with Clear Capital, a real estate valuation and analytics fintech leader and an important sponsor in NAMMBA's effort to affect positive change with the housing needs of underserved communities and with the development of a more diverse mortgage work force.

"We're extremely excited to partner with Clear Capital," said NAMMBA founder/CEO Tony Thompson, CMB. "Like us, Clear Capital has a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, and a leadership team that is committed to representing all the communities in which it does business."

Through this partnership with Clear Capital, NAMMBA will support our strategy to engage new diversity programs and leadership development, and position the company to strengthen communities in which it currently conducts business, creating economic opportunity that focuses on business development for minority brokers, appraisers, and real estate agents while advancing fair housing practices in our industry.

According to NAMMBA, over the next five years, 75 percent of all first-time homebuyers will be women, millennials or people of color. Although there is concern across the industry about a stagnant or shrinking housing market, purchase mortgage opportunity is not only growing, it's changing. According to NAMMBA's most recent mortgage market forecast, the three largest diverse borrower groups (Asians, African-Americans, and Hispanics) generated more than $292 billion of purchase opportunity in 2020, which amounts to 24.2 percent of all purchase dollar opportunities.

"NAMMBA is an amazing organization that is creating positive change in our industry," said Kenon Chen, executive vice president of corporate strategy at Clear Capital. "This partnership is an important piece of our people-first approach. From recruiting to the way we think about product development, diversity and belonging are at the heart of the impact we want to create."
