Until the mid-1960"šs most real estate agents selling residential real estate weremale. Over the next decade, increasing numbers of women entered the profession,and by 1980, female real estate agents outnumbered male real estate agents. Inthis paper, I explore some reasons for this increase by comparing female and maleresidential real estate agents"š motivations for becoming real estate agents, theirsatisfaction with the profession, and differences in the amount of hours worked.The results show that the use of time and the amount of hours worked differssignificantly for female and male real estate agents, and that female real estateagents believe more strongly than male real estate agents that the sex of the agentmatters in residential real estate transactions.
