Connect Media is pleased to announce the winners of our first annual Women in Real Estate Awards.

 

We chose 40 inspirational women who have played important roles in our industry — because of their talent, drive and fresh ideas. We picked these winners from more than 450 nominations sent in by our readers from all parts of the country and from all sectors of the commercial real estate industry — from architecture to development to finance and property sales.

After careful consideration, we recognized 10 leaders from each of the three areas covered by our regional newsletters: California, Texas and New York. We chose another 10 National winners covering the rest of the country.
