In our introduction, Bob shares his background and role at The Robert Weiler Company, highlighting why we've invited him onto the show. We also touch on Bob's journey into real estate.
Delving into his history, we explore pivotal moments like Bob's father's presidency at the Columbus Board of Realtors, where he advocated for women's inclusion—a significant shift considering the historical exclusion of women from holding chair positions.

Moving on to residential vs. commercial real estate, we examine why more women have entered residential rather than commercial sectors. We delve into factors such as the technical nature of commercial real estate and the prevalence of women-to-women transactions. We also discuss the role of tokenism and its limitations in fostering true diversity, highlighting the "Lone Wolf" syndrome.
In our final phase, we ask Bob what he hopes the audience takes away for a more progressive future in the industry.
Join us on "Just Between Us Girls" as we navigate through setbacks, tokenism, and the path towards a more inclusive and progressive real estate landscape.
