Here’s what our attendees had to say about Leading Ladies of Real Estate, and the events:
Bianca Field, Director of Bought Agency
“It was very informative and it gave a very approachable understanding to managing your finances better. All the layman’s terms help people who have no concept of finance and it also makes building your wealth not so scary and exhausting.”
Dee A’Bear, Executive Manager - Commercial Growth and Industry Partnerships at REA
“It's critically important we get behind each other and we stand on each other's shoulders and push each other up. I'm a big believer in women networking and women supporting each other in business and also in our personal lives as well to build that really great network. I think it's important and this industry is really good at doing that.”
Sherrie Storor is a real estate coach, trainer, mentor & speaker who helps real estate agents & real estate agencies get outstanding results.
“I think it's just wonderful to bring everybody together. What's so incredible about the women in our industry is that we really look to each other for inspiration, for knowledge and for learning.
“My personal goals for this year are basically just to continue my bigger vision, which is to create a real impact in this industry. Initially when I started my business six years ago, it was about how we can get the marketplace to view us differently as real estate agents. And the best way to do that is internally, in the industry, and we're doing that through a number of different initiatives and events.”
Maddie Simpson, Ray White Nambour office manager
“Leading Ladies is important to me because being able to see everyone in one room together, especially being International Women's Day today, everyone being able to come together who's a part of real estate and also not a part of real estate to share their stories, share their experiences and share their tips and tricks around real estate and also just being a woman in business.
Domonic Thompson, Head of Residential Real Estate - Business Banking at Macquarie Bank
“I think there's a number of reasons to support initiatives like Leading Ladies of Real Estate. Working for an organisation like Macquarie Bank, we are pretty strong on diversity and equality across our organisation, with many senior people across our business championing the cause and certainly looking to embrace that at every opportunity.
For me personally as well, working in the real estate space, I sit on the board of Rise, which is a well-being initiative for the industry more broadly. And I think anything to do with improving well-being, and I know we often think about well-being as typically mental or physical, but financial well-being for women, I think, is really important.”
Melissa Partington, Ray White Barossa Valley
I’d definitely recommend these events to other women in the industry! It's really lovely that we get to chat to people that we wouldn't normally speak to. I'm not an outgoing person and this makes that easy and takes you outside of your comfort zone. We all feed off each other and in a male dominated industry that's what we need .
Sonya Doman, Platinum Property Styling
I really gained a lot from the information on the super, taking time off to have children and being self employed without putting anything into my super and learning more about salary sacrifice. I really gained something from that information.
