It’s well-known that commercial real estate is a male-dominated industry. That’s changing, but slowly.

However, in our state, it may be happening more rapidly, or the timing is right to encourage a faster change. The female executives I’ve spoken with on this topic say there are fewer barriers in New Mexico to success for women in historically male-dominated industries — such as financial services, construction and commercial real estate. Which may be why 2017 will be the year when we see five major, statewide organizations in this industry come under the direction of women: Commercial Association of Realtors New Mexico, Urban Land Institute, NAIOP, CCIM and Commercial Real Estate Women.

Jeanie Springer-Knight, 2017 president of CREW’s New Mexico chapter.

Below are three New Mexicans to know who will take over leadership of their respective groups during what could be a catalytic year for commercial real estate — and for women — in New Mexico.

1. Marguerite Haverly, 2017 president of CARNM, associate broker with CBRE. CARNM is a resource for commercial real estate brokers, providing education courses and professional connections. With CBRE, the largest commercial brokerage in New Mexico, she was part of a team that backfilled the Hewlett-Packard complex in Rio Rancho with PCM, a Deals of the Year finalist for bringing 224 jobs to Rio Rancho. Haverly said she’ll lead the organization with two main agenda items. One is revamping the website, where brokers list properties for sale or for lease. Second, the organization will offer more resources and education to brokers living and working in other parts of New Mexico.

2. Jeanie Springer-Knight, 2017 president Commercial Real Estate Women, principal of Springer5 Investments. A Rio Rancho developer credited with leading Unser Gateway and NAIOP’s Rio Rancho Roundtable, Springer-Knight will head the New Mexico chapter of CREW next year, with a strong initiative to grow membership and educate young women about the opportunities that abound in commercial real estate.

3. Debbie Dupes, 2017 president CCIM, broker with CBRE. Dupes has over 25 years of commercial real estate experience specializing in tenant and landlord representation, property/asset management, tenant finish and construction management, marketing and development. She joined CBRE as a member of the office and health care team after working with Colliers. She represented Lovelace Medical Group in its 2016 decision to build a 9,000-square-foot clinic at Las Estancias.

Marguerite Haverly, an associate broker with CBRE, got into real estate during the height of the recession in 2008.

Some might say that was bad timing, but Haverly said it taught her a lot — mainly that there are opportunities in real estate in every type of economic cycle.

Marguerite Haverly, associate with CBRE, will be in charge of CARNM.

“It was a good time to learn because there was no easy deals. You had to think outside the box creatively, and you had to learn to be adaptive. I’ve always adopted that kind of philosophy,” Haverly said.

Nine years later, Haverly is brokering big deals. She was part of a team that backfilled the Hewlett-Packard complex in Rio Rancho with PCM, an IT and tech services firm that would bring 224 jobs to Rio Rancho.

Now, she’s gearing up to take a big leadership role in her industry, becoming the 2017 president of CARNM, the Commercial Association of Realtors New Mexico. CARNM is seen as a resource for brokers, which provides education courses and professional connections.

“I’m excited about my leadership role at CARNM because it allows you to delve very deeply into the issues,” Haverly said.

Haverly said she’ll lead the organization with two main agenda items. One is revamping the website, where brokers list available commercial properties for sale or for lease. She said the organization is reworking the website to make it more user friendly not just for brokers, but for the general public looking for space.

Second, the organization will offer more resources and education courses to brokers living and working in other parts of New Mexico.

“Albuquerque is a big focus because it’s the biggest market, but certainly not the only market. Part of what we’re doing this year is providing education courses throughout the state, not just in Albuquerque, to ensure we’re being respectful and engaging to all of our members,” Haverly said.

Haverly joins CARNM’s leadership board along with Ed Anlian of Colliers International as president elect; Terri Dettweiler of CBRE as secretary; Cole Flanagan of NAI Maestas & Ward as treasurer; and Jim Wible of NAI Maestas & Ward as past president.

As of November, CARNM had listed 13.6 million square feet of commercial space for sale, with a total sales price of $2.2 billion.
