OUR MISSION

A Message from Our President

Welcome San Antonio Black Real Estate Professionals Realtist Family and Supporters

As your 2026 President, I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve you and our community. Leadership in SABREP is not about a title. It is about responsibility, action, and making a real difference in the lives of the families we serve.

SABREP exists to be a pillar in the community. Together with our local Women’s Council of NAREB chapter, we are dedicated to expanding homeownership opportunities, advancing education, and protecting generational wealth in underserved neighborhoods across San Antonio.

We are proud to be the local chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, carrying forward the powerful mission of Democracy in Housing. That mission lives through every workshop we host, every family we support, and every barrier we work to break.

Our focus this year is simple and bold. SABREP will be a trusted community resource. We will connect families with knowledgeable Realtists and allied professionals who provide education, guidance, and service that truly makes a difference. From first-time homebuyers to future real estate professionals, we are here to open doors and build futures.

We understand this work cannot be done alone. It takes a village. That is why SABREP welcomes lenders, title professionals, inspectors, appraisers, contractors, small business owners, and aspiring real estate professionals. Inside SABREP, there is a place for everyone who believes in community progress.

We know the homeownership gap still exists, and we are committed to doing our part to close it. Through education, advocacy, and partnership, we will help families build stability, equity, and lasting wealth.

We will also continue to advocate at the local, state, and national levels for policies that create fair and equal opportunities in housing. Our children deserve access to opportunity, stability, and the chance to build legacy.

On a personal note, I want to thank my incredible support system, my wife Nefetari, and our daughters Serenity and Promise. Your love and encouragement fuel my commitment to serve with integrity and purpose.

This is a year of impact. A year of action. A year of community.

It is a powerful time to be a Realtist.

Joshua Bladen
