Welcome to Broker Bytes. Hosted by Nancy Powell, Broker Bytes connects philanthropy, small business, community pride, and crucial real estate knowledge for residents of the Central Savannah River Area.

In this episode, Nancy “Tells us the Truth” with a fact about herself that everyone always gets wrong.

In “Hometown Happenings,” Nancy talks Women's Month and in keeping with the theme of Small Business Scoop, we highlight a small business in the area that has been in existence since the early 90's and is now a 2nd generation "Woman Owned" Business: Powell & Associates.

Nancy's mother, Marcene Powell, was a trailblazer in her own time. She opened the very first real estate brokerage in Lincolnton in 1992 and was one of just a few women period that was a business owner in LC.

In “Real Estate Realities,” Nancy talks about the gap in women's representation in residential versus commercial real estate as well as how ownership is changing.

In “Small Business Scoop,” Nancy talks about the importance of women owned businesses, including her own 2nd generation woman-owned business.

In “Today’s Trends,” Nancy talks about a trend in real estate that means a lot to her: women's representation. An amazing trend that can be found in Real Estate in 2022 is the amount of women in real estate that are very successful and taking on leadership positions. After decades of only men being in these roles, Women are now making up the majority in these positions. Women now make up 67% of realtors nationwide. This trend makes sense as women empowerment is an important part of our society in the 21st century and because real estate offers women the opportunity for economic empowerment and career advancement
