The involvement of women in property problems occurs quite infrequently. Why? This is due to the fact that women have historically been viewed as an uneducated segment of society with no voice or participation in decision-making. Women’s conditions are quite bad, particularly in rural areas. However, since the real estate industry grows quickly, all of its operational procedures are expanding significantly. The real estate industry is also one of the most successful and is growing steadily, with equal involvement from men and women.
Through a variety of business initiatives, women have progressively overcome their low position and gained authority. The finance sector’s many regulations pertaining to house loans and other property-related matters have made it easier for an increasing number of women to actively participate in the home-buying process. “The 10 Most Admired Women Leaders Making a Mark in Real Estate, 2024” has included many names like Jennifer Owens who are believing that in today’s time a woman can thrive in any sector and real estate is no exception.
