President’s Speech: A Vision for Growth and Opportunity

During his keynote address, USBCCI President Md. Liton Ahmed emphasized the significance of the Real Estate Expo 2025 in fostering economic opportunities, homeownership, and investment growth.

“This expo is more than just an event—it’s a platform for building dreams, expanding businesses, and empowering communities. At USBCCI, we believe in creating opportunities that drive financial prosperity and innovation. The real estate sector plays a critical role in our economic development, and through this expo, we are bringing together key players from across industries to collaborate, learn, and grow together.”

He further highlighted the importance of education and accessibility in the real estate market, stating:

“Our goal is to provide a space where first-time homebuyers, seasoned investors, and industry professionals can come together to gain knowledge, explore financing options, and build valuable connections. With expert-led discussions, access to innovative financing solutions—including interest-free Islamic financing—and collaborations with leading real estate organizations, this expo will be a game-changer.”

Ahmed also acknowledged the unwavering support of sponsors, partners, and industry experts, stressing that community collaboration is key to success.

“We are grateful to our partners, sponsors, and media representatives who have continuously supported our vision. Together, we are creating a future where real estate investment is more accessible, inclusive, and beneficial for all.”

Treasurer Ahad Ali’s Speech: Strengthening Financial Growth in Real Estate

Following the President’s address, USBCCI Treasurer Ahad Ali took the stage to emphasize the financial opportunities available at the Real Estate Expo 2025.

“Real estate investment is one of the most powerful ways to build generational wealth. However, financial accessibility has always been a major hurdle for many aspiring homeowners and investors. At this expo, we aim to break those barriers by providing valuable insights into mortgage programs, down payment assistance grants, and Shariah-compliant financing options.”

He also stressed the importance of financial literacy in navigating the real estate market.

“Understanding financing is crucial. Whether it’s learning about 3% down payment mortgage programs, accessing a $15,000 down payment assistance grant, or exploring alternative investment options, our goal is to provide attendees with the resources and connections they need to make informed decisions. USBCCI is committed to ensuring that financial empowerment remains at the core of our initiatives.”

Ali concluded by inviting banks, lenders, and real estate professionals to collaborate on making homeownership and real estate investment more accessible.

Secretary Ismail Ahmed’s Speech: Empowering Communities Through Real Estate

USBCCI Secretary Ismail Ahmed highlighted the social and economic impact of real estate investment on communities.

“Real estate is not just about buying and selling properties—it’s about building communities, creating stability, and fostering long-term economic growth. By bringing together industry experts, developers, and first-time buyers, this expo serves as a hub for knowledge, networking, and opportunity.”

Ahmed also spoke about the importance of diversity in real estate and the expo’s role in promoting inclusivity.

“New York City is one of the most diverse real estate markets in the world, and our event reflects that diversity. We are proud to collaborate with organizations such as the Queens Chamber of Commerce, the American Bangladeshi Association of Realtors, and the New York Hispanic Real Estate Association to ensure that people from all backgrounds have access to the same opportunities.”

He urged realtors, developers, and investors to use the expo as a launching pad for new partnerships and business ventures.

“This event is where deals happen, where new ideas are born, and where our community takes real steps toward financial success. I encourage everyone—whether you are a first-time homebuyer, an experienced investor, or a business owner—to take advantage of the opportunities we are bringing to you through the USBCCI Real Estate Expo 2025.”
