Women Who Lead

Women Who Lead

Women Who Lead is a podcast dedicated to women who make a difference in the real estate industry. Join us as host Teresa Smith, the Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at HomeServices of America, interviews various female executives and business leaders who have found success and forged their own path in the world of real estate. With a family from Columbia, Teresa conducts each interview with a cup of coffee in hand (because that’s how she bonds and spends time with others.) From tactical strategies to overarching trends in the industry, each episode will take an in-depth look into an element of real estate for you to apply and grow in your own real estate business. At the end of the day, remember to always bring women up the ladder with you as you climb to the top. Episodes are published twice each month and are approximately 30 minutes.
