2026 Women in CRE: Patti Visconte, SVN The Masiello Group

 

 

What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?
In a male-dominated profession, I knew that if I wanted to succeed, I had to be true to who I am. I proved that a woman could build a successful career in commercial real estate while leading with integrity, knowledge, confidence, compassion, and doing the right thing for my clients – even when it may not be what they want to hear or advising them against a deal that wouldn’t serve their long-term interests. Trust is everything!

What advice or perspective would you share with women building their careers in commercial real estate?
Stand your ground, trust your instincts, know your value, and let your work speak for itself. With over thirty years of experience, I have learned that the keys to success are vision, passion, enthusiasm, and persistence, persistence, persistence, and, oh, did I say persistence?! Persistence has carried me through changing markets, difficult negotiations, challenging properties, and all the ups and downs that come with a career in commercial real estate. I didn’t give up when something was difficult. I found another way forward.

What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
It’s such an exciting time to be in commercial real estate! There are so many opportunities!

What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
Giving back is equally important. I volunteer with SCORE New Hampshire. It’s a wonderful organization that provides free, confidential business mentoring and educational resources to help people start, grow and manage small businesses. In addition to workshops and webinars, it provides free online resources, template for budgeting and helpful how-to guides.
