NAREB Top Teams Award Honors Black Real Estate Leaders
The Top Teams Award is one of the highest honors given by NAREB. It not only measures sales but also the impact agents make in their communities.
Hibbert-Smith’s team goes beyond closing deals. They focus on educating buyers and sellers, expanding access to financing programs, and building generational wealth through homeownership. This approach aligns with NAREB’s mission to advance Black economic empowerment.
Her leadership reflects the values of the “Realtists,” a title given to NAREB members since its founding in 1947.
Building Wealth Through Real Estate Education
One of Hibbert-Smith’s key goals is teaching families how to use real estate to build long-term financial stability. Her team helps buyers access grants and down payment support that often make ownership possible for first-time buyers.
She also trains agents to become leaders in the industry. Through mentorship and coaching, TRU Real Estate Exchange creates opportunities for professionals to increase production and wealth.
This dedication to education ensures her work impacts more than sales totals. It helps reshape the future for underserved communities.
