Send a message to Women's Council of Realtors Pensacola:
âWith a current female membership of 62% in the National Association of REALTORSÂŽ (NAR) many who are unfamiliar with the organization may ask âwhy do we need a Womenâs Council?â The answer lies in the history of organized real estate, with NAR going back over 110 years and Womenâs Council over 80 years. Womenâs Council exists because for the first 20 years of its existence, women were barred admission from many local REALTORÂŽ associations, so a separate group was created, and in turn, a âwomenâs divisionâ was formed at the Annual Convention in Milwaukee in November 1938 by thirty-seven women from 9 states.
The Council exists today because its 80-year history and legacy is much more significant than âan organization of womenâ. It is the business leadership skills the Council provides that has positioned the Council as a leader for the industry, for organized real estate, and for political action committees.
Since its inception, many dedicated members have served as role models and achieved many "firsts" in the industry and in their communities. Through the decades, Women's Council's membership growth reflected the vast number of women choosing to work in real estate as they recognized the immense career benefits combined with a Women's Council membership, including:
Earnings equitable to men's because "commission is commission."
Flexible work schedules allowing REALTORSÂŽ the ability to raise a family and have a career instead of choosing one or the other.
A support system of women in the same field garnering many friendships, networking capabilities and referrals.
Confidence through connection with other professional women REALTORSÂŽ.
Recognition for their own achievements and success, as well as inspiration and courage to strive for greater successes.â
