2024 Women in CRE: Whitney Taylor, Coastal Land & Commercial Group at Keller Williams Coastal Realty

Whitney Taylor

What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? A recent deal I am proud of is representing a tenant on an 11,000 s/f sublease in Nashua, N.H. I had been working with this tenant for six months, showing spaces and exploring different options. He had a unique need as his company is quickly growing and needed to a secure a space that would support the growth. In the end we took advantage of the soft office leasing market and closed a deal on an exceptional office space with lots of room to grow, which also included all the office furniture. My client was a pleasure to work with and could not have been happier.

What advice do you have for young women aspiring to enter commercial real estate? Since I started in commercial real estate twenty years ago, it is refreshing to now see more women in this field. Women remain the minority though, so my advice to young women aspiring to enter commercial real estate is to surround yourself with men who will lift you up and support you. Join a company or team who you respect and aspire to be like. Rise above and persevere through the hardships, and you will continue to pave the way for women of younger generations. There are now organizations strictly for women in commercial real estate, so take advantage and create a support system. You will need it!

Why should this nominee be recognized in our Women in Commercial Real Estate Spotlight?
