Real Estate Representative for Residential, Commercial, Pre-construction and Investment Opportunities
I agree that women in trades are still undervalued. This was more evident when I was looking for referrals for women in trades in different areas such as home inspectors, carpenters, plumbers, painters, electricians, etc. Reason for it is that there are a lot of single moms, single women and elderly out there who would be more comfortable having a female in these trades come to their house as a preference. Unfortunately in my line of work, I only got 1 female trade referral. Let’s raise awareness and promote women in trades! #tradeswomen #womenintrades #realestateagents #mikeholmes

Happy Women In Construction Week! Anyone who works in the trades is already a hero to me—girls, boys, young, old—because the work isn’t easy, it’s under-appreciated, undervalued, and bottom line, it’s tough work that requires even tougher skin. But every time I go to a trade show or trade school and I see more and more women there, interested, engaged, and dedicated to doing the best at what they do, I’m hopeful about where this industry is headed. I am proud of my daughter Sherry for being an amazing woman in construction! #womeninconstruction #womeninconstructionweek
