One of my favorite HousingWire award programs is our Women of Influence, where we recognize outstanding female leaders in mortgage and real estate. Today, the August issue of HW Magazine went live, and with it, the 2021 honorees. Reading through the profiles of these impressive women always inspires me!
We featured three of our winners on the cover: Rebecca McDonald, chief product officer at Rocket Mortgage, Pam Perry, single-family vice president of equitable housing at Freddie Mac, and Hilary Saunders, co-founder and chief broker officer at Side. We got to spend several hours with them at a photo shoot here in Dallas, and that is always illuminating.
Smart, stylish and funny, you could forget how accomplished these women are. But consider:
Rebecca McDonald is responsible for leading the hundreds of product managers, designers and digital product marketers at Rocket that help create and enhance the technology solutions the company is known for innovating.
Pam Perry is leading Freddie Mac's initiatives to eradicate disparities in homeownership and expand wealth for Black families, while creating solutions for communities of color more broadly.
Hilary Saunders is one of the only female co-founders in the real estate industry. In 2020, Saunders oversaw all business management, legal, compliance and more for every Side territory coast to coast, and became a new mother to twins!
These are just three of the 100 incredible women we profile and honor in this issue. Find them all here!

During a year that has been dominated by never-before-seen challenges, these women have overcome the barriers and paved the way for future women leaders.
