Women's real-estate network encourages 'taking the next step'

This year, 'Catch Up with the Property Girls' events will be aimed at encouraging women to take the next step in their careers.

One of last year's Catch Up with the Property Girls events.

In 2015, Leanne Pilkington, managing director Laing+Simmons and REINSW president-elect, launched 'Catch Up With The Property Girls' - a regular evening catch up at venues around the country that aims to bring women who work in real estate together with the aim of empowering, inspiring and supporting them.

The event is returning bigger and better in 2017, with more events and a focus on inspiring women to adopt a growth mindset – both personally and professionally.

“While today there are nearly as many women working in real estate as there are men, there are still some frontiers to overcome to achieve true gender balance in the industry," said Pilkington.

“By encouraging women to grow personally and professionally and to take the next step, be it into sales, team leadership roles or even business ownership, is something our upcoming events will tap into," she said.

“Its about engaging with women at all levels, from those starting out in the industry to those with plenty of experience. Catch Up With The Property Girls enables everyone to hear the success stories of their peers, understand the challenges, and discuss solutions."
