Our Story
Kelani began in the trenches of the fix-and-flip world in Las Vegas, managing large-scale operations with precision and grit. Across the country in the DMV, Brittany was building her first company while still in college, already carving a path as a social impact trailblazer.
Their paths eventually converged in 2020 when the pandemic shifted networking online. Both found themselves on Clubhouse, the rising social audio app. Kelani, who had been quietly listening and learning, finally spoke up after hearing a young woman receive unsafe and misguided advice from a panel of men. Her words went viral. Brittany, already empowering voices on the platform, immediately recognized a kindred spirit.
What began as conversations in a digital hallway became a mission. With Brittany’s media background and Kelani’s relentless drive, the Women In Real Estate® Club was born. Within a year, it grew to nearly 70,000 members. But growth alone wasn’t the goal. They wanted to create something lasting, something bigger than online courses or quick networking.
Today, Women In Real Estate® is more than a community. It is a movement. With eight chapters across the country, we unite women from every corner of the industry — development, brokerage, finance, property management, and investment.
The real power lies in our members. Women In Real Estate® is where voices are heard, contributions are valued, and wins are celebrated. Kelani and Brittany sparked the flame, but it is our members who keep it burning, rewriting the future of real estate one connection at a time.
Kelani Blackwell
Kelani began her career managing large-scale fix-and-flip operations in Las Vegas before becoming a commercial real estate broker with CBRE in Columbus, Ohio, where she specialized in multifamily investment sales.

Brittany Rose
Brittany launched her first company while still in college and grew it into a thriving enterprise. With more than 15 years of experience in real estate, she pivoted into consultancy with a mission to close wealth gaps by helping women build generational wealth.
Her leadership and media presence — with features in Entrepreneur, USA Today, and Inc. — positioned her as a national voice for women’s empowerment in real estate. As co-founder of Women In Real Estate®, Brittany continues to champion equity, opportunity, and impact.

“Women In Real Estate® is a startup that has expanded rapidly, bringing Black and Brown women and men to the table to learn more about commercial real estate.”
“Clubhouse has played a huge, instrumental role. It helps you feel a lot less siloed… when you actually meet these folks, it’s validating that you’re not the only person experiencing the things you’re experiencing.”
“That’s a double-edged sword in a lot of ways because we have to, one, make ourselves visible. But then we also have to look for environments and colleagues and mentors that don't make us feel like we have to shrink at the same time.”
Take the first step—share a few quick details so we can learn more about you and your goals.
