Real Estate Balance: Driving Gender Equality in Real Estate Industry

Real Estate Balance Championing Gender Equality in Real Estate Industry

International Women’s Day is just around the corner, and the lead-up to it is sparking important conversations about gender equality in the real estate industry. Sue Brown, Managing Director at Real Estate Balance, reflects on the progress made in the past 40 years and emphasizes that the battle for gender equality is far from over.

Recent data on the gender pay gap in real estate reveals a 9% disparity between male and female professionals in 2023. Additionally, a study by Real Estate Balance shows the gender gap between middle managers and senior leaders has not only persisted but worsened since 2016.

Real Estate Balance, a leading campaigning organization established in 2015, has been at the forefront of promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the UK real estate sector. Their work focuses on addressing the gender imbalance and ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals regardless of gender.

The organization has been expanding its reach across various UK regions, hosting events to raise awareness and promote gender equality in the industry. With a growing pool of talented professionals and a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, the real estate sector is making strides towards a more equal and inclusive environment.

As the industry gears up for events like Mipim and UKREiiF, Real Estate Balance is actively involved in promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives. With the support of major property companies like JLL, Knight Frank, and Savills, the organization is driving important conversations and showcasing the importance of gender equality in the workplace.

Through events, surveys, and resources, Real Estate Balance is championing the cause of gender equality throughout the year, not just on International Women’s Day. Their commitment to creating inclusive workplaces and cultures in the real estate industry is a testament to their dedication to fostering a more equitable future.
