Realtor. Female
Property manager. Female
her asst. Female.
Mortgage broker. Female.
her loan processor. Female
Escrow officer. Female.
her partner covering during vacation. Female.
Homeowner's insurance agent. Female.
Home inspector. Female
Home appraiser. Female.

If it were 50/50 for each position the odds of this would be 1/1032. The time where men's function in society will mainly be sperm donor and jar opener is fast upon us.

The time for you to find a FEMALE to do your arithmetic has arrived; the denominator in the fraction you gave should be 2 raised to the tenth power, which happens to be 1024. Any computer geek could rattle that one off for you too.

    I'm surprised you spent the time figuring out the odds of that happening. Was it worth it?

    Your time would be better spent evaluating properties instead of who is sitting across the table from you in your negotiations.

    The world is changing Jordan and more women are taking charge on their careers. We have always lived in the man's world where they support the female. Now, more and more women are having to take charge of their own because they too can do the job. I'm surprised you're taking your wasted energy on evaluating the percentage of the working women. Business is business.. It's not personal. Get used to it because you're gonne hit every women you deal with in the real estate business.

    I'm proud to be a career woman. We live, learn, take care our family and succeed in personal and business life. Yay for women! Don't worry the men are in with us too. We love them too. Business is business ;)

    Trying to turn an observation into a little joke at the expense of men. Looking at the response I'm getting, it failed sorry for any offense.

    2 years ago, more women matriculated into my field of work for the first time ever. I welcome this change cause in my field of work, you definitely want the most qualified person doing the work.

    Maybe you have the priority of functions backwards, too.

    That is an interesting observation, Jordan. But I think many of the jobs you mentioned are probably not 50-50 in gender distribution. Let us know if you encounter ten women while looking for painters, plumbers, electricians, etc. That would indeed be remarkable.
