A few years into her real estate career, Mian Lavallee looked around and realized something — there was a lot of isolation in her line of work.

An individualistic attitude that promoted hoarding information and competition with fellow agents bothered her. Her solution? Hosting events that fostered collaboration and communication between women in the real estate industry.

These events, which Lavallee has been organizing for over seven years, bring together some of Boston’s top performing female agents to share industry intel and forge personal connections over food and drinks.

“This is such a different business,” Lavallee told Boston Agent magazine. “You can’t share the angst with your girlfriends who are therapists or insurance adjusters or teachers. The always on-ness of this job is extremely difficult for someone else to understand. Creating camaraderie around what we do is at the heart of these events. These women are inspiring, and everyone’s running their own business in a unique way. It’s like a Thanksgiving cornucopia of ideas and inspiration.”

The success of these events, and Lavallee’s keen understanding of what makes for a killer party, have earned them a reputation as “the ticket to have.” Lavallee describes parties that could be straight out of “Sex and the City,” complete with cute drinks and spill-sesh conversations.

Her next event on Jan. 27 will give attendees a chance to match buyers and sellers on the spot, all while enjoying good eats at a Mexican restaurant. Like all Lavallee’s events, it will center on female agents.

“I’m a girl’s girl,” Lavallee said. “I’m always wanting to uplift and support women in every way possible. There are also way more women in this industry than men, and I want the best of the best.”

Lavallee sees a career in real estate like a ladder. Agents can try to go it alone, but it’s much less shaky — and more fun — to rely on the support of others.
