We’re getting our hands dirty this Thursday!
Join WHIP for a relaxed social gathering created for our members and their guests to connect, unwind, and reflect on the growth we’re building together as individuals, professionals, and a community.

Enjoy cocktails, conversation, and the chance to meet women and allies in real estate who are building income, confidence, and opportunity across Chicago.

This isn’t your typical networking event, guests will pot a small plant to take home as a symbol of the growth we’re cultivating for women in real estate and the communities we serve.

Gloves will be provided. Cocktails will be poured. Meaningful connections are sure to bloom.

Our president, Tracy Scanlon, recently joined the Investor Fuel Real Estate Pros Podcast to share how leading with kindness has shaped not only a successful property management company, but a stronger community of tenants, owners, team members, and vendors.

Because when people feel respected, supported, and valued, business grows stronger—and so do communities.

Tracy also had the chance to talk about us, WHIP Chicago!

WHIP is more than networking. It is women supporting women, opening doors, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities for the next generation through partnerships with CPS and financial literacy programs for Chicago students.

Listen to the episode here:

Ms. Tracy shares her journey in property management, her philosophy on building sustainable communities through kindness and service, and her passion for empowering women in real estate. Discover practical insights on community building, investing, and leadership.
