The Open House Podcast: Where Women Talk Real Estate

Kristina Modares

Hi I'm Kristina founder of Open House Education. I help women break through the barriers of traditional home buying every dang day. Because, homeownership done well inspires community, income and creativity!

At Open House Education, we’re filling a critical gap in the real estate world: creating a welcoming, inclusive space where women can learn about real estate from other women. The real estate industry has traditionally been male-dominated, often presenting educational content in ways that don’t quite click with or empower women. We're here to change that. 

I love breaking the barriers of traditional homeownership by showing that:

  • You don’t have to be married to buy a house.
  • Your first home can and should be an investment.
  • Your first home can be a vacation home.
  • You can buy a house with friends.
  • You can buy a house and still travel the world.
  • You can make real estate creative, fun, and lucrative.
