To celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday (14 May), we’d like to share the story of a successful woman who embodies two things we admire the most – a real estate agent who is also a mum! 😉 It’s not easy to juggle and balance these two roles, so we think it’s only appropriate we highlight of the many great women in real estate who can manage to succeed in both their career and be wonderful mothers as well.
At the Women Economic Forum 2017 held in New Delhi, women who have made their mark in the global workplace share their success stories to encourage and inspire other women to stand out and make their mark in a (still mainly) male-dominated society. One of these super-women is Munirah Mohammad, a real estate agent and mother of two from Malaysia.

Munirah Mohammad is a mother of two daughters, and a successful real estate agent in Malaysia. When it comes to delivering impressive results in the real estate business, few can rival the accomplishments of Munirah.
As one of the pioneering Bumiputra licensed real estate agents in Malaysia, Munirah brings over 20 years of insightful experience and capabilities to the playing field and for the past 16 years, she has been actively building up a reputable portfolio with Homefield Real Estate Sdn Bhd.
“I started my business in 1996 when there were barely any women in real estate, let alone running it. Although it’s a male-dominated space, I had enough business sense to know that real estate is one field where you can earn as much as you work,” she says.
Munirah has grown her business by 30% year-on-year since 1996, and survived three recessions, which is significant enough as demand for real estate nosedives during recession. She is in the midst of another recession in her country. “My team has 30 real estate agents, 26 of whom are women. And I want to make sure that more women make their way into enterprises,” Munirah says.
Her passion for real estate and exacting standards of excellence are highly respected, so much so that a portion of her success can be attributed to clients who unflinchingly endorse her services to others seeking to sell their properties.
Munirah is well on her way to carving out a solid reputation for Homefield as a premium brand and agency.
“It’s absolutely possible. While they (daughters) may feel I have neglected them at times, I have tried my best to give them all the love they deserve… disciplined and not spoilt. That’s an important lesson and most important part of being a mother,” Munirah states.
