What advice would you give to women just starting out in commercial real estate?
Women need to embrace what makes us different and play up our strengths, while understanding what challenges we face as women, based on intrinsic behavior as well as industry hurdles.
Women are relationship oriented and nurturing; positive factors for building long term, loyal, relationships. Trust your instincts, have strong convictions, but be flexible. Endeavor to do what is right, but also achieve client's goals. Be confident, don't let intimidation influence your decisions. Do your due diligence and be prepared. Admit when you don't know the answer. Have a strong handshake. Most important-ask questions and really listen and learn.
