Women's Council of Realtors® Osceola

We are a network of successful REALTORS®, advancing women as business leaders in the industry and in the communities we serve.With a current female membership of 62% in the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) many who are unfamiliar with the organization may ask “why do we need a Women’s Council?” The answer lies in the history of organized real estate, with NAR going back over 110 years and Women’s Council over 80 years. Women’s Council exists because for the first 20 years of its existence, women were barred admission from many local REALTOR® associations, so a separate group was created, and in turn, a “women’s division” was formed at the Annual Convention in Milwaukee in November 1938 by thirty-seven women from 9 states.The Council exists today because its 85-year history and legacy is much more significant than “an organization of women”. It is the business leadership skills the Council provides that have positioned the Council as a leader for the industry, for organized real estate, and for political action committees. See at a glance for more information regarding the impressive statistics and infographics that demonstrate the Council’s impressive leadership in business and the industry that continues to today.
