Ginny Mees, a member of the Harper-Mees Team at the Danville, California Keller Williams Realty recently founded the website www.WomanHomeOwner.com to put together local female professionals needed to help present and future women homeowners with their unique issues.  These individual support networks include REALTORS(R), mortgage professionals, CPA's, financial planners, attorneys and insurance agents.  Woman Homeowner is rapidly spreading across the nation and Canada with chapters searchable by zip code on the website.

A study by the Harvard Business School in 2004 found that one of every five home buyers in the country was a single woman.  22% of home buyers out there are single women compared to 9% single men.  Women like security, and therefore, are nesters by nature.

Central Coast Woman Homeowner, the local Woman Homeowner Chapter for San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, Templeton and Atascadero secured by Sherry Lee Cox & Wendy Henzler, REALTORS(R) affiliated with Keller Williams Realty North County, has already identified several professional women for our chapter and is in the process of interviewing four more to contribute to our network.

The present members are:

Sherry Lee Cox & Wendy Henzler, REALTORS(R), Keller Williams Realty North County  (805) 235-0234/(805) 286-1536

Once our core group is complete, we will be holding monthly or bi-monthly seminars to help address women's concerns with regard to home ownership, home purchasing, legal issues and many other topics.  In addition to the wealth of information available from our core group of professional women, each member has an extensive list of other professionals and service providers in the area for your convenience. 

Feel free to contact any of our members listed above for professional services, service providers and recommendations of topics that you would most like to discuss at our future seminars.
