NAMMBA Announces Partnership with Allen Tate Mortgage

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, November 17, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America (NAMMBA) announced today a partnership with Allen Tate Mortgage, an important mortgage company partner in NAMMBA’s effort to affect positive change with the housing needs of underserved communities and with the development of a more diverse mortgage workforce.

“We’re extremely excited to partner with Allen Tate Mortgage,” said NAMMBA Founder/CEO Tony Thompson, CMB. “Like us, Allen Tate Mortgage has a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, and a leadership team that is committed to representing all the communities in which it does business.”

Through this partnership with Allen Tate Mortgage, NAMMBA will roll out a comprehensive strategy to engage the more than 50 employees via access to focused training, new hire programs and leadership development, and position the organization to support the communities in which it currently conducts business.

According to NAMMBA, over the next five years, 75 percent of all first-time homebuyers will be women, millennials, or people of color. Although there is a concern across the industry about a stagnant or shrinking housing market, purchase mortgage opportunity is not only growing, it’s changing. According to NAMMBA’s most recent mortgage market forecast, the three largest diverse borrower groups (Asians, African-Americans, and Hispanics) generated more than $292 billion of purchase opportunity in 2020, which amounts to 24.2 percent of all purchase dollar opportunities.

“We share NAMMBA’s commitment to improving the lives of minorities and women working in the mortgage industry through training and relationship building. Together, we will continue to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace,” said Chris Cope, President, Allen Tate Mortgage.
