"Women of Influence"

Maura O'Connor was featured in the October 2008 issue of Real Estate Southern California in the "Women of Influence" feature article. Maura was chosen as one of "40 professionals chosen for Real Estate Southern California's Ninth Annual Women of Influence list," according to the article. These 40 leading commercial real estate professionals cover "the spectrum of jobs one can hold in the industry," including "attorneys, brokers, lenders, executives and owners."

The article notes that Maura "created and implemented a store site acquisition program for an international retailer entering the California market, resulting in closing over $1 billion total acquisitions by sale or lease." Reflecting on the current market conditions, Mara suggested that "The more sophisticated players will create competitive advantages and increase market share by doing the internal work necessary to create business process efficiencies, and will use law firms that already utilize business process solutions to increase efficiencies and budget predictability for their clients with repetitive transactions."
