Why Women Tend to do Property Management Rather than Brokerage. Part III or From a Business Perspective, are Women Different from Men?

A little over a week ago, I wrote a blog article in inquiring, "From a Business Perspective, are Women Different from Men?", which I later followed with comments in Part II regarding personality differences inherint in each of the sexes.

At the time that I wrote the these earlier blogs, it was my perception that there was a disproportionately small amount of women involved in commercial real estate, particularly in executive or leadership positions.  However, I did not consider property management, which is clearly within my definition of commercial real property. As a matter of fact, my anecdotal experience tells me that there is no shortage of women involved in property management, including the upper echelons of property management.  Now, I don't know how well my anecdotal experience translates into the broader realm of our industry, but if my sense of things is any where near accurate, I wonder if there is any reason why there might be more women in property management rather than in other areas of commercial real property.

This sounds like a question for IREM to answer.
