Vice President of Real Estate Assets, ICONIQ Capital and Board Member of SentralWhat Do People Misunderstand About The Real Estate Industry?
The misconception is that it’s an all-boys club. Part of that is true, but I’ve met both men and women who are phenomenal in this space.
There’s also a lot of personalities in real estate.
Construction people are still running around cursing, wearing hard hats. It’s much less buttoned up and more straight shooting.
The industry is special because, generally, real estate people love real estate. You don’t end up here by accident. Usually you loved some building growing up, or Legos, or the physical world and seeing something start to finish.
Irrespective of your background, you’re always going into a room with people who just want to see things get built.
