Department of Community Housing and Development's Director of Office of Statewide Broadband, Kenrick Gordon joins Maryland REALTORS® CEO, Chuck Kasky to discuss the impact of the lack of broadband internet access to millions of Americans. Despite being a small state and the fifth most densely populated in the nation, the best estimate—and it’s really only a guess—is that 425,000 Marylanders lack broadband service.

REALTORS® that serves communities throughout the state are also faced with issues when showing homes in areas with zero to low broadband access.
