The Power Is Now Media Fair Housing Series 2021: Ria Cotton

The Power Is Now Media believes in Fair Housing and is conducting a series of interviews with industry leaders in Housing, HUD, FNMA, FHLMC, Non-Profit HUD Counseling Agencies, Real Estate Trade Associations, Real Estate Companies, Banks, and Mortgage companies to talk about Fair Housing and what they are doing to support the Law and enable people of color to achieve the American Dream of Homeownership. I am the Broker-Owner of Cotton Realty, a virtual brokerage focusing on economic development and real estate sales. My career in real estate started in 2004, supporting loan origination, appraisal and underwriting with World Savings. Becoming a Realtor in 2015 and now a Real Estate Broker, I represent residential and commercial sellers and buyers. I am a staple in North Richmond, closing some of the highest sales within the last two years. I also enjoy project management for independent builders in new construction. From land identification to certificate of occupancy, I provide resources and value to my clients. As 2020-2021 President of the Women’s Council of Associated Real Property Broker’s, Ria leads the charge to elevate the standards of women in the real estate industry by encouraging leadership, education, and the exchange of information through group learning techniques; and to provide an opportunity for women to increase their knowledge and expertise in all facets of real estate.
