Women In Multifamily

Over time, commercial real estate has seen a transition from a male oriented industry to one where women are involved and thriving in every aspect of the business. Whether it be on the front lines as loan originators, crunching numbers as underwriters, in the boardrooms as C-suite leaders and everywhere in between, women are making a mark in the Multifamily world.
