March is a special month, as it brings the global celebration of International Women’s Day, a time to recognize the achievements of women across all industries. At unitiiPM, we are proud to not just celebrate women, but to exemplify what women-led success looks like in the property management industry. From our company structure to our leadership team, women drive every decision, strategy, and innovation that makes our properties thrive.

In this blog, we’ll explore the numbers behind women-led property management and why embracing female leadership benefits not just companies like ours, but the tenants, owners, and communities we serve.

1. Women Are Leading the Way at unitiiPM

At unitiiPM, we are 100% female-owned and led, with over 70% of our leadership positions held by women, from property managers to senior executives. This isn’t just a statistic, it’s a reflection of our philosophy: when women are empowered to lead, everyone benefits.

Research supports this approach: a study from Baylor University’s Keller Center found that female leaders are more inclined to prioritize strong customer relationships, contributing to long-term success. Additionally, McKinsey & Company reports that companies with gender-diverse executive teams are 21% more likely to outperform financially and create greater value.

2. Better Experiences for Tenants

Women-led property management often prioritizes tenant engagement and community building, and unitiiPM is no exception. Our leadership approach emphasizes empathy, clear communication, and proactive service. Properties managed by women-led teams often see higher tenant retention rates and fewer complaints.

Research on gender diversity consistently shows that companies with more women in leadership positions tend to report higher overall organizational performance and satisfaction, which correlates with better customer and tenant experiences. For our tenants, this means feeling heard, valued, and supported, creating communities people are proud to call home.

3. Operational Excellence Through Collaboration

Collaboration is a cornerstone of women-led management. At unitiiPM, our female leaders foster open communication across teams, ensuring maintenance, leasing, and administration work seamlessly together.

Academic research demonstrates a positive role for female leadership styles in promoting effective knowledge sharing and innovation performance among teams. In practical terms, this translates to faster response times, clearer cross-team coordination, and a smoother tenant experience overall.

4. Financial Strength and Performance

It’s not just about people, numbers tell the story too. Companies led by women, including unitiiPM, achieve strong financial performance through strategic planning, careful risk management, and inclusive decision-making.

A broad body of evidence highlights the financial case for gender diversity: research aggregated over decades finds that organizations with higher gender diversity in leadership positions tend to outperform peers in profitability and market performance. McKinsey’s analysis shows that the correlation between women in decision-making roles and superior profitability holds across industries and regions. For property owners, this means trusting a team that balances financial stewardship with tenant satisfaction, a combination that drives sustainable growth.

5. Inspiring Future Generations

The impact of women-led property management goes beyond current operations. By placing women in visible leadership roles, unitiiPM serves as a model for aspiring female professionals in real estate and property management. Over 70% of our leadership positions are held by women, which demonstrates that women don’t just participate—they lead, innovate, and excel.

Highlighting women in leadership also creates a culture where mentorship and career growth are accessible to all, regardless of gender. This ripple effect strengthens the industry as a whole, fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion for years to come.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day this March, the numbers speak for themselves: women-led property management is not only effective but transformative. At unitiiPM, our 100% female-owned and led structure, with over 70% of leadership positions held by women, proves that female leadership drives innovation, operational excellence, and community-focused property management.

Whether you’re a tenant seeking a supportive living environment, a property owner looking for a strategic partner, or a young professional aspiring to lead in real estate, women-led teams like ours offer proven performance and meaningful impact.

This month, and every month, we celebrate the women who make property management not just a business, but a people-first profession. Because when women lead, everyone wins.
