We invited everyone from students to people in every diverse group you can possibly think of. There are people in real estate and people in mortgages on it, but there are also people that are serving in the military and that are leaders in other organizations. And I think that\u2019s definitely having an impact, but I\u2019ve focused on this for a really long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In continuing the theme of women in leadership, several key positions were announced. Lori Muller has been appointed president, U.S. Division. Joining the company in 2007, until recently Muller was the owner of three EXIT Realty brokerages in Wisconsin and was appointed vice president of the company&#8217;s U.S. Division in 2020.
