2025 Women in CRE: Diana Roman, Romer Debbas LLP

What skill or quality do you believe is essential for success in your field today?

I believe that one of my most important and essential skills is my attention to detail and multitasking. In real estate, there are a lot of moving parts, and it is so important that you can jump from one deal to another without missing a beat. You must also pay attention to detail because each deal has its own component and no two are the same. I have learned to sharpen these skills over the years by taking on the tasks without hesitation, while also developing the ability to organize and prioritize effectively.

What advice would you give to a woman considering a career in commercial real estate?

I would tell a woman considering the field of real estate not to allow herself to be intimidated by anyone or anything. Real estate is a very rewarding career path, and as a woman, I have seen many break the glass ceiling in different areas and positions. I believe that you can as long as you set your mind to do something, it can be done.
