2024 NAHREP Top Latino-Owned Business List
The Top Latino-Owned Business List recognizes emerging Latino-owned businesses that contribute to the residential real estate industry and showcase the entrepreneurial spirit of the Hispanic community. The Top Latino-owned businesses and Up & Coming businesses are featured alongside their industry sector and their previous year’s revenue.
This list is also featured in the 2024 State of Hispanic Wealth Report, an annual publication that tracks how Latinos are faring regarding wealth creation, with a specific focus on homeownership, entrepreneurship, and financial investments. See the full report here.
Methodology
The Top Latino-Owned Business List is compiled through a self-nomination process. Businesses will be divided into sectors of the real estate industry and ranked against their peers within each sector. Ranking will be based on business gross revenue during the most recent fiscal year. To be eligible, nominees are required to submit a signed letter from their CPA or other appropriate body to validate their revenue submissions. Nominations may be disqualified or modified where third-party validation is not available or consistent. Ethnic background is confirmed through self-attestation.
