Stability is often framed as a virtue. But for women in real estate, it can come at a cost.

Our research shows women are less likely than men to change employers, often prioritising security and consistency. The unintended outcome? Missing out on market driven pay progression and being quietly penalised for loyalty.

When retention isn’t rewarded, the gap widens - not through lack of ambition, but through structural imbalance.
