The Power of Education and Influence: Kenisha Robnett's Success in CRE

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM November 30, 2023 Duration: 31:15

In this episode, Kenisha Robnett shares her inspiring journey from being a research scientist to becoming a trailblazing woman of color in the commercial real estate industry, making a lasting impact through mentorship and breaking barriers as one of the first black female CCIM instructors. Tune in for her powerful insights and advice for women in business.

Kenisha Robnett is a passionate individual who found her true calling in the field of real estate. Previously, she had a sense of dissatisfaction as she believed that she was not making a significant impact in helping others. However, her life took a turn when she was introduced to commercial real estate by a couple who were friends with her godmother. The world of real estate opened up a new dimension for Kenisha, igniting her soul and deeply resonating with her. She realized that real estate was not just about the physical aspects, but it touched every aspect of life - from the ground we walk on, to the buildings we enter, and even the schools we attend. This realization led Kenisha to pursue a career in real estate, where she strives to make a meaningful impact and help people in a profound way.


Below are the key takeaways from this episode:

  1. Education and professional designations, such as CCIM, can open doors and help women in commercial real estate overcome challenges in a male-dominated industry.
  2. Being authentic and true to oneself is crucial in making an impact and finding success in the industry.
  3. Building a strong network and participating in mentorship programs can provide opportunities for growth and advancement.
  4. Women of color entering the industry now have more resources and support compared to previous years, making it easier to break barriers and achieve their goals.
  5. Rebranding and pivoting can be beneficial for companies, allowing them to stay relevant and capture attention in a competitive market.


The Value of CCIM and REAP in Real Estate Mentorship: "That additional information can help you to soar and just be leaps and bounds ahead of other people." — Kenisha Robnett
