Since 2015, @tealhousecompany has helped 65+ first-time homeowners find a place in Richmond. In that same time, the city hit the second-highest eviction rate in the country, and early 2020 saw nearly 1,500 Black Richmonders evicted, nearly three times as many as white residents. Founded by Tarah Harris with her husband, Damon, Teal House Co. is dedicated to ensuring EVERYONE has an opportunity to live in Richmond. They do so with agents like @realestatebyshadia assisting home buyers and through education about gentrification. As a commitment to support legacy residents and reduce displacement, they encourage people to take the “Good Neighbor Pledge.” This includes [stop sign] taking down illegal “we buy houses for cash” signs, [money] selling your home with good intentions, and [house] supporting local housing agencies for starters. . . . . . #firsttimehomeowner #homeowner #home #thisishome #vasmallbiz #blackownedbusiness #stopgentrification #displacement #rva #804 #goodneighbor #rv...
