The 3rd USBCCI Real Estate Expo 2026 was successfully held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott, organized by the U.S. Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce & Industry (USBCCI).

The day-long expo received an overwhelming response from the Bangladeshi-American community, attracting strong participation from real estate professionals, investors, business leaders, entrepreneurs, community leaders, first-time home buyers, and industry experts.

More than a hundred professionals from the real estate, mortgage, finance, legal, banking, investment, tax, insurance, and technology sectors participated in the event. The expo served as a valuable platform for networking, knowledge sharing, business connections, and real estate investment opportunities.

The main objective of the expo was to create awareness among the Bangladeshi diaspora about home buying, real estate investment, financial planning, and business networking in the United States. For many first-time home buyers, the expo worked as a “One-Stop Real Estate & Investment Platform,” where they received guidance from trusted professionals under one roof.

USBCCI has always been working to support community economic empowerment, entrepreneurship development, and stronger business relations between Bangladesh and the United States.”

He further added that the expo was not only a business event, but also an effective platform for building wealth, increasing investment knowledge, and creating long-term economic opportunities for the next generation of the community.

For first-time home buyers, the session “Keys to Your First Home: Insider Guide for New Buyers” provided practical guidance on credit scores, down payments, mortgage approval, first-time buyer programs, and the step-by-step process of purchasing a home.
