The
Tampa-based
realtor
believes
that
everyone
deserves
a
place
to
call
their
very
own
and
her ultimate
mission
and
passion
with
her
work
is
the
building
of
wealth
and
the
reduction
of
housing
disparity
in
the
Black
community.

In
an
exclusive
clip
from
Saturday’s
premiere,
we
see
Amina
working
toward
that
while
helping
her
client
Loretta
find
a
home.

Loretta
is
a
grandmother
of
four
looking
to
finally
buy
her
first
home
as
she
approaches
retirement.
Amina
helps
to
increase
Loretta’s
purchasing
power
and
expand
the
scope
of
her
hunt
in
order
to
find
her
the
perfect
home
where
she
can
finally
enjoy
the
much-deserved
retirement
she
has
worked
decades
toward.

Loretta
has
been
pre-approved
for
$265,000
and
she’s
interested
in
purchasing
a
brand-new
ranch
home.
The
gracious
grandma
just
doesn’t
want
the
home
to
be
for
herself,
she
wants
space
for
her
family
including
bedrooms
for
her
daughter
and
her
grandkids.

“They
don’t
have
their
room,
they
were
all
sleeping
in
the
room
with
their
mom,
five
of
’em
in
one
room,”
says
Loretta.
“They’re
gonna
be
excited
to
know
that
this
is
their
room.”

According
to
Amina,
Loretta’s
story
is
just
one
of
many
inspiring
moments
on
the
show.

“I
grew
up
in
apartments
and
I
never
really
thought
that
I
could
buy
a
home,
I
want
people
to
have
that
realization
[that
they
can],”
she
told
BOSSIP’s
Managing
Editor

Dani
Canada.
“I
grew
up
watching
home
shows
all
day
long
and
I
never
thought
that
would
be
me.”

“Not
only
will
people
see
that
this
could
be
them,
but
they
can
actually
learn
how
to
do
it.
They’ll
be
like,
‘On
Loretta’s
episode,
she
used
this
type
of
loan,
so
I
need
to
find
this
thing,
I
need
to
find
this
program.’”

She
continued,

“It’s
no
longer
just
about
the
home,
it’s
about
the
journey.
Everybody
can
find
a
way
to
identify
with
a
person,
a
place,
a
home,
or
something
in
the
show.
You’re
gonna
learn,
you’re
gonna
be
entertained
and
you’re
gonna
be
inspired.

Elsewhere
in
the
interview,
Amina
also
shut
down
the
notion
that
people
should
wait
until
they’re
married
to
purchase
their
first
home,
something
some
people
continue
to
aspire
to.
Instead,
she
believes
that
someone
entering
a
lifelong
partnership
with
a
home
is
actually
a
good
thing.

“I
definitely
don’t
agree
with
that
notion
that
you
should
wait
to
buy
until
you’re
married,”
said
Amina.
“The
reality
of
the
situation
is
that
you
can
buy
and
buy
again
with
your
spouse
and
you
can
take
your
first
property
into
a
rental
property
or
you
can
take
the
equity
out
and
build
your
dream
home
with
your
spouse.

“I
think
the
motto
for
2023,
2024,
and
beyond,
is
to
think
bigger
and
realize
when
you
come
to
the
table
with
a
home,
it’s
an
asset,
not
a
liability.”
