What advice would you give to women just starting out in commercial real estate?
Real estate is not an industry for the thin-skinned individual. That being said, I believe that the first ingredient for success in this industry is to be well informed in your particular field. Build your skill set and expertise; then build your reputation. Once you have studied, learned, trained and gone on to gain as much varied experience in your discipline that is available, you need to get out there and network; have an open mind and "listen" to the industry experts, clients, prospects, competitors, other consultants, your colleagues, and to your employees. Information, communication and relationships in this industry are vital. Make them your ally in your search for the creative solutions to success.
