Women Lead the Way in SF Bay Area Real Estate

In historical terms, our job as San Francisco Bay Area Realtors® has not been around long.

 

Real estate brokers first popped up in New York (or maybe Chicago) around the mid-19th century. The first iteration of the National Association of Realtors® was founded in 1908.

 

The tenure of women in real estate has been even more brief. There were no women in the NAR to begin with, and as of 1975 women made up just a third of its members.

 

How times change!

 

Today, nearly two-thirds of Realtors® are women, and the proportion of single-woman homebuyers more than doubles that of single men nationwide.

 

There are so many amazing women in our industry, with whom we are proud to share, learn, compete and collaborate.
