Real Property Management Franchise Owner Named to HousingWire’s Annual Ranking of Housing Industry’s Most Influential Women

Real Property Management, a Neighborly company, is proud to announce franchise owner Joni Wolfswinkel as one of just 100 women named to HousingWire’s 2020 list honoring extraordinary women who are shaping and propelling the real estate industry.

Wolfswinkel was selected to join this 10th annual ranking from HousingWire, the most influential source of news and information for the U.S. mortgage and housing markets, based on her professional achievements within the Real Property Management network along with her contributions to the overall industry, community outreach, client impact and personal success.

“Through her tireless commitment to excellence, Joni represents the best of what our franchise network has to offer,” said Jeff Pepperney, President of Real Property Management. “Not only have her leadership skills paid off in the form of business success, but they have earned her well-deserved industry recognition. We could not be more proud to have a woman like Joni leading the continued growth and success of Real Property Management.”

As an accomplished leader with over 20 years of proven success in real estate, Wolfswinkel has been consistently recognized for the business success she’s achieved and for her "courage under fire" leadership style. Beyond the office, she further sets herself apart with her dedication to being an active member of the communities her franchise businesses serve, with her involvement ranging from her position on the board of directors for the Bridge the Gaps foundation to sponsorship of various organizations committed to helping children with special needs.

Wolfswinkel is a vocal advocate for the continued entrepreneurial success of women everywhere, as conveyed by the mentorship she offers through her podcast "Inside The Wolf's Den, An Entrepreneurial Journey with Shawn and Joni Wolfswinkel," and in the book she is currently authoring on the importance of empowering women across all industries.

“I am honored to receive this recognition in an increasingly competitive industry and from a source as esteemed as HousingWire,” said Wolfswinkel. “As a female entrepreneur-turned-CEO, empowering other women to pursue their dreams of business ownership just as I have is of the utmost importance to me. I look forward to continuing to apply the leadership skills I have been recognized for to help further the success of my franchise businesses, and I hope I can inspire other women to do the same along the way.”

In addition to her Real Property Management franchises in Houston and Albuquerque, Wolfswinkel is also the franchise owner of Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Albuquerque, Mr. Rooter being another Neighborly company.
