FORTUNE Magazines Leigh Gallagher has named Just Right Home author Marianne Cusato one of the top women in real estate: Real estate, at the leadership and executive level, is one of the last male-dominated bastions of business. In many ways, this is not a surprise; on the property and ownership side, many of the largest real estate firms are run by family dynasties where the baton typically has passed to the sons. The homebuilding industry, on the other hand, is a close cousin of the male-dominated construction business. The investment side, too, has historically been run by men. [The] conversation got me thinking, and when I got back to the office I started putting together a list of women in real estate I either already knew of or had come across in my reporting for The End of the Suburbs. Then I started looking a little more. Is real estate changing as rapidly as the rest of the ranks of business? Maybe not yet, but I came up with the beginnings of a pretty interesting list, one I thought worth sharing... here.
