I’m Michelle Goodridge, the Founder of this incredible community for professional women in the real estate industry and beyond.
REAL is more than a concept—it’s a feeling, an energy, and an emotion. It embodies belonging, inclusion, and diversity. It represents the spirit of community and togetherness in an industry that often feels isolating and competitive. At its core, REAL is about sisterhood.
This platform offers professional, entrepreneurial women the chance to elevate their game while building authentic connections. It’s a space to openly discuss challenges, celebrate achievements, and thrive in a safe, judgment-free environment. Here, honesty is valued, genuine support is abundant, and encouragement and mentorship flourish.
There’s something extraordinary that happens when women come together with sincerity and purpose. This magic is what inspired me to create a global community of women dedicated to uplifting and challenging each other as we build lives we love—on our own terms.
A global community of like-minded professional entrepreneurial women coming together in a safe space to be authentic, empowered, and truly REAL!
Collaborating with like-minded companies to develop and implement business-driven methodologies tailored to real estate and adjacent industries, focusing on growth and retention strategies.
Offering expert guidance and proven strategies to invest in financial and insurance sectors, as well as real estate, to diversify portfolios and maximize wealth-building opportunities.
I’m Michelle Goodridge, the Founder of this incredible community for professional women in the real estate industry and beyond.
With over 23 years of experience in international real estate franchising, I am deeply passionate about empowering women in real estate and beyond. My mission is to cultivate a community where we inspire, motivate, and uplift one another to reach our full potential. I believe that a career in real estate and as an entrepreneur or business owner presents a transformative opportunity for women to change the trajectory of their lives.
My global experience and network stem from working alongside the Chairman, President, and Co-Founders of RE/MAX INTEGRA Group of Companies and RE/MAX Europe—the largest sub-master franchisors under the RE/MAX umbrella. This expansive organization operated across five Canadian provinces, nine U.S. states, and all 34 countries in Europe and the Middle East.
In response to numerous requests and recognizing the common challenges women entrepreneurs face on their journeys, REAL MG is excited to announce that we are now open to all women who are Owners, Founders, CEOs, or Team Leaders of their businesses.
