Redlining, Appraisals & Eminent Domain | How Utilities Negotiate Land Rights

Описание: What does a Black commercial appraiser, land acquisition agent, and AI entrepreneur see that most people miss about real estate?

In this episode of The Commercial Builders Network, Jessica Brown breaks down how redlining, appraisal bias, infrastructure, land acquisition, and AI all shape property values, business ownership, and access to opportunity.

Jessica shares her path from historian to oil and gas title research, infrastructure real estate, land rights acquisition, commercial appraisal, and AI-powered media. She explains how utilities, eminent domain, right of way work, and appraisal practices affect homeowners and communities every day.

She also unpacks the lasting impact of FHA-backed redlining and why those racist valuation practices still influence property values in Black neighborhoods today.
