Manhattan-based Stacom is certainly right about the asset management function. That specialty recognizes women most as decision-makers according to 25% of our respondents. Here are the other most popular areas of focus: Leasing (21%); Sales (12%); Finance/Lending (11%); Investment and Legal; (tied at 10%); Architecture/Design (6%); Development (3%); and Appraisal (2%).Are women who choose real estate for a career making headway against the good old boys network? Clearly, based on the results of our survey. "This says good things about women in the industry in general," observes Hollemon.
But have they done away with the Glass Ceiling? Clearly not, says Stacom. "It's broken," she concludes, "not shattered."
