Women have always been integral to the real estate industry, whether working in management and administrative roles or leading the sales and marketing teams as brokers and agents. Today, we want to introduce 5 Women Trailblazers of the Cayman Islands Real Estate Industry:

Currently, women make up 67% of realtors in the United States and it would not be surprising to find women making up the majority of real estate professionals elsewhere in the world. In the Cayman Islands, out of a current roster of 259 agents and brokers, 136 are female - comprising 52% of the country’s realtors.

Interestingly, many of the trailblazing women who continue to shape Cayman’s real estate industry entered the profession as a second career. Some, as we will soon discover, have left behind previous jobs in diverse fields such as hotel catering, medical facilities, paralegal assistance, commercial airlines, and even 911 emergency services, in order to follow a new and exciting career in real estate.

Many of them were also mothers with young children, who wanted to achieve professional satisfaction while at the same time being able to tend to their growing brood.

As more and more women take on leadership positions in Cayman’s real estate industry, we asked some of our top female front-runners to share their personal stories and to provide sound advice for others who aspire to be like them.
