New Business
NAWRB strives to create new business opportunities to women-owned businesses in the housing economy. NAWRB advocates for women-owned businesses, connects members to federal agencies and industry leaders, and promotes members through public profiles and the NAWRB Referral Program.
NAWRB offers the only certification tailored specifically for women business owners in Real Estate. NAWRB Women-Owned Business Certification is a key marketing tool available to NAWRB Members. For more information regarding certifying your business, click here.
NAWRB continually seeks contracting opportunities on behalf of its members. Most small- and mid-sized women- and minority-owned businesses are precluded from competing as Prime and Sub Contractors based on geographic, technical, size or capability constraints. NAWRB offers your business the ability to fill those gaps and meet contracting requirements through our teaming approach to contract procurement.
