What are the biggest barriers to leadership for women in real estate? Pulse – Inman

Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.

Real estate as an industry has always offered outsized opportunities to women, perhaps because its associations with “home” made it an acceptable avenue for women’s efforts and accomplishments. Yet, although they make up the majority of residential agents, women are less likely to take on brokerage leadership or transition to the more lucrative commercial and development sectors.

What are the biggest barriers to leadership for women in real estate? How do women undermine their interests or fail to grab the brass ring when it’s available? What can women do to take on a greater leadership role in the industry? Let us know your thoughts.
We’ll compile a list of the top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
