Happy International Women's Day
Browns are celebrating International Women's Day with a blog created especially for women about working in real estate as females.
The property world has traditionally been a male-dominated working environment and continues to show a high proportion of men over women (85% vs 15%) working in the industry.
Recent figures from RICS reveal a significant lack of women at a senior level in the property industry. Of the number of members who have achieved fellowship status, only 4% are women. With over half of women saying juggling family and work life caused a problem for them when taking the plunge.
However, not to worry as after looking a little more closely, figures show that at the back end of 2023, there are approximately 207,000 women working in the real estate sector in the UK. And the number of qualified females professionals has risen from 5% in 1990 to 18% today.
Here at Browns, we are a women dominated Estate Agents. With 5 women and 1 man working in the office, along with 2 male maintenance workers, we are celebrating International Women's Day.
At Brown's Estate Agents, us ladies absolutely love our work! It's more than just a job—it's a place where we're supported, valued, and encouraged to grow. From the inclusive atmosphere to the opportunities for leadership, Brown's recognises and celebrates what makes us amazing. On this National Women's Day, we proudly celebrate our female colleagues who embody professionalism, dedication, and excellence, making Brown's Estate Agents a place where women can truly shine.
Happy National Women's Day to all the fantastic women at Brown's who make it such a great place to be!
