Ginger Glass closed $420M+. Behind her, a field of 511 woman-led teams and one hundred agents redrawing the California market.
The story of residential real estate in California is, increasingly, a story about women. At the top of the state’s production last year stands Ginger Glass of Compass, who closed $420M+ across 55+ transactions out of Beverly Hills. She leads a field deep enough that a place among California’s top one hundred women required $60M+ in closed volume.
