"Our alliances with organizations such as AREAA are critical to fulfilling the RE/MAX mission to reduce barriers and build pathways to homeownership for all," Reagan said. "The AAPI population is growing in many communities across the country. Our work with AREAA empowers agents to not only serve as trusted guides in real estate, but also as allies in the unique issues facing the AAPI community."

He continued, "At RE/MAX, we lead with compassion. Recent events have shown that now, more than ever, the AAPI community needs our support. We're eager to learn how we can help and make a positive difference."

For five consecutive years, RE/MAX has been a national sponsor of AREAA. Backing of the group ranges from supporting their financial mission, participating in education opportunities, event sponsorship, the participation of RE/MAX affiliates on AREAA's regional leadership teams, and co-sponsoring the annual State of Asia America Report.
