2023 Women in CRE: Sara Wurzer, Buckingham Properties

What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? I’m most proud of the skillset I have developed thus far and my career growth here at Buckingham Properties. I started in 2019 as a property manager, worked my way to an assistant director position, and most recently was promoted again to a director level role. Overseeing a wide range of properties both residential and mixed-use (residential/commercial/retail) has allowed me to expand my expertise and stand out in a demanding, predominately male-led industry. 

What are the most important factors women in your industry should consider when choosing a firm to build their career with? Women must be conscious of company’s culture and management’s level of value on inclusivity. Advancement opportunities for hard work without sacrificing on work/life balance is key.

Who inspires you most? What qualities do they possess that inspire you? Tom Latta with his knack for making people feel at ease even in crisis. Professionally and personally, he always wants what’s best for his team.

Why should this nominee be recognized in our Women in Commercial Real Estate Spotlight? “Sara has proved herself to be a dedicated leader and someone who consistently goes out of her way to help those around her, no matter how much is already on her own plate.
