2017 Women in Real Estate Spotlight - Brianna Goodwin

Brianna Goodwin
President and CEO
Ver-Tex Shading Solutions

Years in real estate: 12

How have you navigated obstacles to achieve success in your career: I didn’t let other people limit or define my success. Coming into the construction business as a young ‘girl’ along with the stigma that comes from being the ‘bosses’ daughter’ set me up for continuous challenges to overcome throughout my career.
