In this episode, Maryland REALTORS® CEO, Chuck Kasky and CEO and Principal Broker of Mims Realty Group, Hope L. Mims, discuss creating real estate career opportunities for college students, the process of generational wealth, pre and post licensing requirements for new agents, and using education as a vehicle to drive change in Maryland to address missing middle housing.
Hope L. Mims opened the doors of her boutique Real Estate company in February 2018. A lifelong Baltimore resident, she is passionate about giving back to her community as she provides scholarships and mentoring to Baltimore youth as well as helping families in need. Hope is a member and President Elect of the National Association of REALTORS® – Greater Baltimore. She earned her Bachelors Degree in Business Management from Coppin State University and an MBA from University of Phoenix. She is also an Alumni of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program and currently serves as the Chairperson for the Alumni Advisory Board for Coppin State University’s Center for Strategic Entrepreneurship. She is also currently enrolled in the Maryland REALTORS® Leadership Academy.
Hope gives an inside look at the the Real Estate Acquisitions Program for students (REAPS) offered at Coppin State University to create pathways for students into real estate careers and to provide opportunities to tackle any student debt before graduation. The program specializes in the recruitment of passionate, diverse, and driven students from the Baltimore community and develops their business and financial acumen so they are equipped to thrive in their first year as a licensee. In addition to training for the students, upon passing their PSI exam, all of their first year fees, which can also pose as a significant financial challenge for most new REALTORS®, are paid for by the program.
