The place that women have won in the Real Estate sector

International Women’s Day is celebrated every March 8. A date full of tributes and commemorations, which is inspiring to take a look back in time and analyze how female capacity has challenged areas reserved for men and how, from that innate strength, their contributions have been part of the evolution and maturation of the construction industry, the real estate sector and related activities.
Women have taken a preponderant role in recent years. The activity of women in the real estate sector has been strengthening, but without a doubt there is still a lot of work to be done.

Traditionally, the industry is considered masculine and there are strong entrenched barriers, prejudices and stereotypes. In management positions, women are underrepresented and, in truth, having women on a board of directors guarantees the reception of diverse ideas and more accurate decision-making.

The contributions that women make in the sector have to do with sensitivity and the ability to generate empathy with customers. Being able to connect from trust and demonstrate constant improvement, achieved through training and professionalization in a world that, until a few years ago, was only for men.

Although it still costs, due to the machismo present in companies, but the only truth about this is that everything is earned with professionalism and dedication.

The woman’s goal is to be in the architectural history books, and for now they are on the right track. Until a while ago they hid them, and now it is common for women to appear in talks, seminars and participate just like men.

The woman is already very inserted in the world of real estate, but it needs to spill over into others, in the commercial area 80% are women. It would be very interesting if it spreads to all areas.

In this framework, the great challenge that is glimpsed in the field of construction transcends gender borders: rather, it is about strengthening teamwork and achieving effective results based on the contribution of each professional, from their capacity and training. permanent.
