Women’s Wednesdays: Paths to Home Ownership

On August 24, 2022, Equality Bahamas was in conversation with young homeowner and real estate agent Hannah Beard who shared her personal experience and professional knowledge about buying or building a house.

The conversation was guided by the following questions:
What are the best ways to find property or a house?
What is the financing process like?
What are the requirements?
What are the phases of building or buying a house?
What are the main pitfalls in searching for and buying a house or property?

Women’s Wednesdays was designed by Equality Bahamas as a response to community members’ requests for a space to access resources, experts, and practitioners, share knowledge, and engage in conversation with one another. Officially started in May 2017, Women’s Wednesdays highlights Bahamian women and our experiences in The Bahamas, specific to our identities including gender, race, sexuality, age, and ability. Held once per month at minimum, the events draw women together to have conversations that bring our individual lives into focus while connecting to family, community, and national narratives.
