RIVERSIDE, CALIF. — April 21, 2021. Join Eric Lawrence Frazier MBA, NMLS 461807 Vice President and Mortgage Advisor with First Bank as he interviews two exceptional real estate professionals about housing on the new Fair Housing Interview Series.
Over the past half-century since the passing of the landmark law that prohibited discrimination in housing, much progress has been made to ensure all Americans have open and equal access to housing. Be that as it may, the number of people still suffering from the effects of structural and institutional racism continues to grow exponentially. The bad news is that the people charged with the responsibility of ensuring equal and fair access to housing continues to ignore the situation. But not for long!
Given the current health situation across the globe, most people have been negatively affected and pushed an inch closer to poverty. There is sufficient data pointing out the fact most people today are caught up on their monthly mortgage payments, as the pandemic has devastated the lives of many both economically and socially. But not so surprisingly, the minority communities in the country have been hit hard. The disproportionate impact on these groups indicates the hardships and the longstanding inequities that not only await them, but also, what they’ve had to go through often as a result of structural and institutional racism in education, employment, health care, and housing.
Part of the reason why there are so many people suffering as a result of housing discrimination is the lack of information. To address this, Eric Lawrence Frazier MBA, a real estate and mortgage professional with many years of experience, earlier introduced the Fair Housing Interview series that will run to the end of the month. The series features top talent in the industry, including leaders, movers, and shakers. Talking of movers and shakers, on this episode, Eric interviews Sabriana Brown and Lionel Akpovi. Two decorated real estate professionals.

“As a real estate professional, I understand the importance of working with a Real Estate company that will have your best interests at heart. That is why I opened Brown and Brown Real Estate.
