From GPBOR President Mike Pereira


June is National Homeownership and LGBTQ+ Pride Month. 


As REALTORS® we recognize the important relationship between homeownership and achieving the American Dream. GPBOR and NAR are committed to expanding homeownership, even as we face a historic 50-year record shortage of affordable homes.


Affordable and sustainable homeownership is crucial to narrowing the racial homeownership and housing wealth gaps. Access NAR resources on National Homeownership Month by clicking here.


And don't forget to buy your tickets for REALTORS® on the Rooftop on June 8. Hosted by our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, the event is a great way to celebrate diversity in our industry.


Thank you for your continued membership.

What is Juneteenth?

On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas. He informed the enslaved African Americans of their freedom and that the Civil War had ended. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as Juneteenth — a combination of June and 19 — for over 150 years.
