About Wise
From Vision to Reality
The Evolution of the Wise Network
The Wise Network was born from a bold vision by founder Dedee Boring, who recognized the need for a space where women could confidently explore commercial real estate (CRE) as investors. While women make up only 3% of CRE investors, Wise was created to change that statistic by providing a platform that educates, empowers, and connects women interested in building wealth through real estate investments.
What started as a local initiative in Austin, Texas, focusing on multifamily investments, has evolved into a thriving network spanning cities such as Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Denver, Raleigh, and Seattle. Wise is no longer just about networking; it’s a movement empowering women to unlock the opportunities that CRE investing offers.
The Power of Wise Women
Redefining CRE Investing for Women
At The Wise Network, we are redefining what it means to be a commercial real estate investor. Our members come from all walks of life—some are seasoned investors, others are exploring CRE for the first time. They may not work in the CRE industry professionally, but they recognize the transformative potential of CRE investments as a path to financial independence and long-term wealth.
Wise focuses on providing resources and community to help women confidently invest in diverse CRE asset classes, including multifamily, self-storage, NNN leases, industrial, land, office, and hospitality. Whether members prefer passive investing strategies or are actively building and managing their own deals, Wise is here to support them.
Investing in CRE is about more than property ownership—it’s about taking ownership of your future. The Wise Network equips women to move past fear and uncertainty by offering the education, tools, and connections needed to make informed investment decisions that benefit themselves and their families.
Empowering Women
Through Community and Education
At the heart of the Wise Network is a belief in women’s ability to bring fresh perspectives and innate wisdom to the CRE investing space. Our name, Wise, and our symbol, the bee, represent industriousness, abundance, and community—all qualities embodied by our members.
Through Wise, women gain access to:
- Educational Resources: Expert-led events, webinars, and workshops covering the fundamentals of CRE investing, strategies for syndications, and asset-specific insights.
- Networking Opportunities: A supportive community of investors, legal and financial professionals, and industry experts committed to sharing knowledge and celebrating each other’s successes.
- Exclusive Membership Benefits: Visibility in the WiseHer Member Directory, access to private online forums, and opportunities to connect with other women navigating similar investment journeys.
Wise is more than a networking group; it’s a movement helping women take bold steps into CRE investing. Our mission is to break down barriers, foster collaboration, and build the confidence women need to thrive in this traditionally male-dominated field.
Join the Movement
Whether you’re taking your first step into CRE investing or scaling an established portfolio, the Wise Network is here to guide and support you. Together, we’re building a future where women are empowered to leverage commercial real estate as a vehicle for financial growth and independence.
