Hibbert-Smith’s recognition by NAREB underscores her influence as both a business leader and community advocate. The $377 million milestone reflects her team’s dedication to:
• Educating buyers and sellers on building wealth through real estate.
• Expanding access to grants, down payment assistance, and financing options.
• Developing agents into industry leaders through training, mentorship, and systems.
• Creating impact far beyond sales numbers by fostering homeownership in underserved communities.
Claudienne comments, “Winning this award is about more than numbers — it’s about creating opportunities, building legacies, and proving that when we work together, we can transform entire communities. I’m honored to stand on the shoulders of those who fought for democracy in housing, and I’m committed to carrying that mission forward through every deal, every agent, and every family we serve.”

About NAREB
Founded in 1947, the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) is the oldest minority trade association in America. Known as the “Realtists,” NAREB was established to ensure democracy in housing and to empower Black real estate professionals at a time when access to the industry and fair housing were systematically denied. Today, it continues to advance its mission by supporting African-American real estate professionals and advocating for policies that expand Black homeownership, generational wealth, and economic empowerment.
