Bess Freedman, CEO of Brown Harris Stevens, shares her experiences highlighting the challenges women face in real estate, such as dealing with inappropriate comments and balancing career demands with family responsibilities. Freedman emphasizes that although there has been progress and increased power for women in the industry, the equality gap persists. Danielle Andrews, a broker from Florida, reflects on her transition from teaching to opening her brokerage, explaining the importance of authenticity while navigating stereotypes in a male-dominated field.
Before becoming Brown Harris Stevens's CEO, I was an agent in New York City. I quickly learned that you have to hustle twice as hard as a woman.
The double standard may have diminished a bit... if they're working, they're also managing a household and their kids' schedules.
