Leveraging one’s network and identifying the right type of investment should be among the top considerations when beginning to invest in commercial real estate.
That’s according to panelists during Minnesota Commercial Real Estate Women’s virtual forum Wednesday. They were speaking to a group aimed at advancing women globally in the commercial real estate space.
Men hold approximately 73% of undergraduate and graduate real estate degrees in the U.S. and Canada, according to CREW Network. Once in the industry, women in commercial real estate hold 54% of mid-level associate and senior positions; 27% of senior vice president, managing director and partner level positions; and 9% of C-suite positions, according to CREW’s data.
