GRETCHEN S.WILCOX
President and Founder
Q10|G.S. Wilcox & Co.
Gretchen Wilcox’s firm is the only woman-founded commercial mortgage banking
firm in the US, with a servicing portfolio of
more than $1.1 billion. Her firm is part of the nation’s 8th largest
intermediary of commercial real estate capital, currently servicing
a $17.6-billion loan portfolio and experts in debt/equity, joint ventures, structured finance, sale-leaseback and construction financing. She aggressively solicits new business from developers, real
estate owners and the brokerage community, identifies and contracts servicing relationships with life insurance companies and
heads production and oversees the underwriting process on all
executive summaries and mortgage loan submissions.
Key Issue: “It’s childcare and the fact that our industry is in a bit of a
downturn. I also think that women should look at themselves as people in
business, not as ‘women in business’.”
MEG WORTHINGTON
Real Estate Agent
Stephen N. Frankel Real Estate Inc.
As a commercial and residential agent and
management consultant for her Ventnor
City-based firm, Worthington has been
involved in a diverse set of transactions. She’s also served on the
Galloway Twp. Council for two decades and has been involved in
all facets of growth and development, including the state regulatory process on several levels, and understands the complex
approval process in the state’s coastal and Pinelands areas.
Key Issue: “Without a doubt, it’s a challenge for women to balance work
and family. Additionally, it takes longer for women to earn a client’s
respect regarding her knowledge and experience. But the future for women
in commercial real estate has never looked brighter, while it’s clear that
there is still much progress to be made.”
LORI ZUCK
Assistant Vice President
GVA Williams New Jersey
A broker for the past 20 years, Lori Zuck
had a previous stint as a financial analyst for
a major bank. She heads her company’s
industrial leasing and sales division in New Jersey, one of the
few women in the industry specializing in industrial, and has
participated in 300 completed transactions valued at more than
$300 million.
Key Issue: “Any challenges or issues I have experienced have not been
the result of being a female. The real estate industry today is more
welcoming to women than it was when I first began my career. While
there are still significantly fewer women than men in real estate today,
there are many more women than in the past and the increasing presence of women has helped make real estate a much more viable career
opportunity for women overall.” —RENJ
