Women Who Roar It’s often said that it’s a very exciting time to be a woman, but one could go as far as to say that it’s always been exciting to be one. Despite all that females have endured, most would never want to be anything but. History shows us that women are natural, fierce leaders and protectors, with a keen sense and unique perspective as such. Yes, they’ve always been seen as maternal and the glue that holds life together, but what we’re seeing now is a woman unleashed is a force to be reckoned with. A woman in real estate though, now that’s a powerful combination. Innately nurturing, they work as a team and listen, making ownership and management positions almost second nature. And with a flexible real estate sales career, the choice between home and work is a thing of the past. The numbers are clear with the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) reporting that 67% of all REALTORS® are female in their 2019 REALTOR® Quick Facts. Here are just a few of the women who mean business here at EXIT.

Why EXIT: My business partner at the time and I had the disclosure papers in hand for another franchise, but during a real estate conference we were attending my partner started talking to an EXIT agent from South Carolina. We googled EXIT on our way home in the airport and sent in an inquiry. The regional owner made immediate contact with us, we met the next week, and we purchased the first EXIT office in the state of Wisconsin. Years in real estate: 17 Why real estate: I wanted the freedom of having my own business. I’ve never looked back once I was licensed. Female role model: Tami Bonnell is my inspiration. She has always asked what is important to me, what I wanted to do, and where I saw myself. Because of her, my passion ignited for helping other women in business. Power mantra: Fear is temporary, BUT regret is forever. Successory: The Resource Center where I’m always looking up offices and agents to match them to one another for transactions, sponsoring, and potential franchisees. When the going gets tough: Get a coach or at least an accountability partner to help work through things. This person has your back, is your sounding board, and sees things from a different set of eyes. If you don’t have one reach out to another EXIT member across the country and you’ll see both your businesses soar! Empowering advice: You make your life by design. Affirm your destination and desires. Face your challenges and challengers head on because this is your dream and no one or nothing will stop you!
