ONTARIO, CA—“Women are resilient—from standing on a dirt floor to hitting the glass ceiling in the commercial real estate world. We are natural caregivers and effortlessly bring this quality to the industry.” That is according to Ivette Barnett, a director in Voit Real Estate Services' Ontario office.

When asked about how the industry has changed for women, Barnett, who was recently voted one of Real Estate Forum's Women of Influence, says that women are solution providers and detail oriented. “Our current generation has been around professional women all their lives, which former generations did not and our successes are widely celebrated and recognized.”

With 25 years in the business, Barnett is a respected professional in the commercial real estate industry & represents her firm and her clients with class. Hardworking and a positive influence are words often used by anyone who works with or around Barnett.
