Asian Real Estate Association Launches Atlanta Chapter

A national real estate trade association that seeks to promote home ownership among Asian-Americans launched its Greater Atlanta chapter at a gala Aug. 23.

The Asian Real Estate Association of America, or AREAA, educates housing-related professionals who serve Asian Pacific American communities around the country.

The organization was founded in 2003 and now has 12,000 members across 38 states. Its Atlanta chapter was created in May but was officially inaugurated at the gala.

AREAA seeks to help Asian homebuyers overcome the linguistic, cultural and knowledge barriers that cause lower Asian home ownership rates in the U.S. relative to other ethnic communities.
