Home Smart

It is said that 'a woman makes a house a home'. While women make most of the decisions regarding their homes in their various avatars as wives, daughters, etc., the one role that is less heard of in the society is that of woman real estate broker. So if you are a woman armed with an MBA coupled with a commerce or law degree and are looking to set up a venture, then real estate broking could be your calling.
Most realty professionals believe that the fairer sex has an edge over men where selling properties are concerned. "Women have a flair for looking into the nitty grittes of a property. The natural instinct aids us in helping our clients in picking up the right home," explains Shalini Kumar, partner, Sq.Ft. Realtors, who entered the profession by chance.
"Women are excellent at managing egos,don't we do it at home all the time?" quips Sneha Pathak, another broker and member of South MetroCity Association of Realtors (SMART). Pathak entered the profession 14 years ago, when "only three other women where in the industry". Even today the male to female ratio in the industry is quite skewed, says Pathak. "Among the 30 odd members in SMART only seven are women."
Raj Shah, owner of Square Feet Realty Consultants, says he wants more women to be a part of this industry. "They are naturally able to connect on issues of family details with regards to children etc..when this is used from a broker perpective it helps in zeroing down on the appropriate property," says Shah.
