You would never guess that 65% of Realtors are women. The “leaders” are mostly men as are the experts. The large corporations that own the large real estate companies are run by men. The median age of Realtors is 55. That means half of all members are over 55 and half are under 55.  A few years ago that median age was 57.

Boardman Realty is 100% woman-owned and operated.
