Jenifer Hoffman Awarded At Home with Diversity® Certification

Jenifer Hoffman of Hoffman Real Estate has been awarded the At Home with Diversity® certification from the National Association of REALTORS®.

Hoffman joins more than 17,000 other real estate professionals in North America who have earned the certification after completing an eight-hour course addressing topics of diversity, fair housing, and business planning development. The program is designed to meet the nation’s fair housing commitment by educating and equipping NAR’s members with the tools they need to expand homeownership opportunities.

Real estate professionals like Jenifer wisely plan to meet the needs of diverse clients, while maintaining a competitive edge. The At Home with Diversity® certification allows REALTORS® to not only apply the skills and tools they learned in the course to business practices, but conveys to clients they’re dynamic real estate professionals with expertise that transcends cultural barriers.

This was not Jenifer’s first time learning about diversity. Her undergraduate degree in American Studies focused on minority studies, including numerous classes on race, gender, and class from the departments of history, literature, sociology, political science, theater and more. Her senior thesis, “Brown vs. Board of Education: A Multifaceted Look at the Landmark Decision and the Three Men Who Made it Happen,” won both the Student Research Award and Leigh Cree White Memorial Essay Award.

A lifelong advocate for equal rights, Jenifer ensures her clients have equal opportunity and access to homeownership. When asked why she pursued the At Home With Diversity designation, she said, “This designation represents everything I believe in and hope to achieve in my career. We have to acknowledge where we have been in order to see where we are heading. We’ve come a long way but still have a long way to go. Fair housing for all is a right, not a privilege.”
