The Power Is Now Homeownership Series - Adrian Bates

The Power Is Now Media is conducting a series of interviews about the importance of Homeownership and Financial Literacy, during the month of June. Today Eric Frazier speaks with Adrian Bates, Broker, A-1 Realty & Associates.

Our goal is to inspire and educate everyone about the wealth-building impact that homeownership can have on your life. Especially for low to moderate-income families, minorities, and African Americans who have the lowest homeownership rate of all minorities.
