2026 Women in Commercial Real Estate: Rina Takeda, Outsource Consultants, Inc.

What was the most rewarding project or deal you’ve worked on in the past 12 months, and why?

The most rewarding is when a client takes the time to message their appreciation for my work. Whether it may be thanking me for my expediency or the efforts of not just myself, but the whole team to complete and closeout a project. It means a lot that clients took the time to let me know that my work was appreciated and it brings me joy to know that it’s been acknowledged. One email I recently received was for a hospital project, thanking me for all that I do and it definitely brightened my day.

What advice would you give to the next generation of women entering commercial real estate?

My advice for the next generation of women is don’t ever be intimidated to enter the commercial real estate field and that there are so many brilliant women leading the way. I believe finding women mentors who are knowledgeable and can lean on for guidance is important and beneficial for professional growth. Also it’s thrilling to know you’ll be a part of a team who gets to be involved in real estate for the great city of New York!
