Black owned estate agents...?

Black Lion · (#1 (**permalink**))

Does anyone here know of any black owned estate agencies in london? Have been busy recently wondering what to study as I had my eye set on a course in Impoprt and Export, its a really interesting field to get into, recommend it to anyone but I've recently decided to stick with property as its not as far afield as Import and Export which falls under business studies.

Not keen on having to work for white owned estate agents, would feel infringed upon not keen on having to pretend to be white to get a job or having to belittle myself to avoid them being ''racist'' toward me or something.

Any info before this gets moved to the workers gripes thread?

Thanks
B.L

There is one in Brixton owned by a sista called Kim Crawford. Its called Open Doors Estates, and is located on 91 Acre Lane, Brixton.

She was at a recent event organised by the National Black Womens Network.

Ther was a big feature interview on her in Knowledge Fountain Magazine.

The issue is here, read for yourself http://www.knowledgefountain.co.uk/images/kfmag4.pdf

Cool!

Was worried there weren't any out there.

Don't mind travelling to brix town either, more than worth it.

work in the industry?

not to presume anything, but i think in a white country an African run estate agency is bound to be less friendly to black interests, and more inclined towards white people's interests than even white owned companies, if they want to stay in business, that is.

They might have to employ a few white people to ease up on their insecurity when dealing with us but otherwise I think I've been westernized enough to put on a brave face, cut my 'fro, stop using certain ''slang'' terms, cut back on the ''bling'' to fit in well enough and not tread on any vein of racial insecurity when dealing with them.

Have to fix up my C.V, will be calling a few this week.

lol.

smile when a white person walks by, change your step, wear suits clad in a trench coat, love the RIM blackberry, go out with light skinned sistas, or preferably white chicks, and accept some dgree of microwaving of your brains to make up for the inadequecy complex that person has.
