Based in Gig Harbor, Washington, the Women's Council of REALTORS Washington represents a legacy of professional empowerment spanning over 80 years. What began in the 1920s as a response to exclusion has evolved into an inclusive community that celebrates and develops leaders across the real estate industry and beyond. Our mission centers on advancing women as professionals and leaders in business, the industry, and the communities we serve—a principle reflected in our motto, "When Women Are Present, Everything Changes." We are more than a professional organization; we are a network of fierce goal-diggers who encourage one another to dream bigger and achieve more. Our Washington State membership spans multiple regional networks, each dedicated to supporting local real estate professionals while contributing to our national movement. Approximately 10% of our members are male, demonstrating our genuine commitment to inclusion and collaboration across all genders. We honor the legacy of leaders like Margo Wheeler, whose 30-year real estate career and numerous leadership roles—including NAR Vice President and Washington Realtor's President—exemplified the transformational impact our members create. Through volunteer leadership, mentorship, and community involvement, we develop strong leaders for the real estate profession and the broader communities we serve. The personal and professional growth within our network is exceptional, offering members access to training, education, and relationships that expand both their careers and their courage to pursue meaningful goals.
