Today, March 8th, we celebrate and recognize women across the world. International Women’s Day is a global day that celebrates social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Historically, International Women’s Day first emerged from the women’s labor movements at the turn of the 20th century in North America and Europe. Women across generations had to struggle and fight to bring about a day to celebrate women in the world.

Women investing in real estate, which is an industry generally male-dominated, should have no boundaries. It’s no secret that men have been the centerpiece of real estate investing, both statistically and historically, throughout time, but women are beginning to make their own path in the field beyond administration and provide not only support and guidance, but also expertise and knowledge that can easily appeal to various clientele. On a national level, women dominate the real estate field as agents, but still fall behind in their efforts to expand into commercial real estate. There’s still plenty of room for improvement, but women are beginning to pave the way in real estate investing.
