"I know there are a lot of women in the industry, but it seems like we're noticing them more lately," says Carolyn Callero, a mortgage agent at Verico Premiere Mortgage Centre in Georgetown, Ont. "I'm seeing more women's faces in CMP magazine and at industry functions."
When asked about the challenges of being a woman in the industry, Callero - who finished at 46 on this year's list - says she sometimes feels it's a "boys' club" when it comes to relationships between male realtors and brokers.
But she refuses to remain in the background or miss out on opportunities when it comes to networking activities typically classified as male-centric.
"I've gotten more into golfing and I'm getting more in with the guys that way - trying to find their interests and building connections through that," she says.
