Real Estate Diversity Initiative (REDI) is a comprehensive, 15-session curriculum designed to advance the real estate careers of women and professionals of color.

Twenty participants step into the role of a real estate developer, gaining direct knowledge and experience working in teams to produce a development plan, proforma, and marketing plan for a real project. Participants are taught by a volunteer faculty of experienced, multidisciplinary, top-tier practicing real estate professionals serving as instructors, mentors, and facilitators who share market-based knowledge and the wisdom from their experience. The program concludes with REDI teams presenting their proposals to a panel of real estate professionals who engage the participants and provide constructive feedback.
