About this Event

The Build Up to Ownership | A Spoken Word & Homeownership Experience

Where poetry meets purpose — and art opens the door to generational wealth.

Join us for The Build Up to Ownership, an unforgettable evening that fuses the power of spoken word with the transformative conversation around community, equity, and homeownership. This is more than an event — it's a movement.

🎤 Celebrating the Release of The Build Up EP

The evening kicks off with the highly anticipated EP launch of The Build Up by acclaimed spoken word artist and real estate professional Lynae Bayne. This collection of original poetry explores the personal and collective journey toward ownership, identity, and legacy. Expect raw emotion, powerful imagery, and a performance you won't forget.

✊ Featured Spoken Word Performances

Two additional poets and spoken word artists will take the stage to deliver original pieces centered on:

  • Community — the ties that hold us and push us forward
  • Equity in Homeownership — dismantling barriers and reclaiming access
  • Generational Wealth — building something that outlasts us

These voices will challenge, inspire, and remind you of what's truly at stake.

🏡 Your Path to Homeownership Starts Here

Presented by The Real Estate Pro Coach, LLC, this event includes a dedicated educational segment designed for first-time buyers, aspiring homeowners, and anyone curious about where to start. You'll walk away with real, actionable knowledge on:

  • How to begin the home buying process
  • Why homeownership is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available
  • Resources and next steps to get you closer to the keys

No jargon. No pressure. Just clarity and community.

🥂 Sip, Snack & Connect

The evening wraps with a networking and mingling session — because the connections you make in this room matter just as much as the knowledge you gain. Come ready to meet like-minded people, share your story, and build something together.

This event is perfect for:

  • Poetry lovers and spoken word fans
  • First-time homebuyers and those curious about the process
  • Anyone passionate about community, equity, and economic empowerment
  • Supporters of Black art, Black wealth, and generational legacy

Doors open early. Seating is limited. Reserve your spot today.

Presented by The Real Estate Pro Coach, LLC | Featuring Lynae Bayne
