SHE Week Sponsor: Warthen Team

For Ashley Warthen, a career in real estate seemed almost predetermined. Both of her parents worked in the housing industry, so when it came time to leave high school and pursue that next level, the choice felt obvious to her.

Her commitment didn’t discourage the naysayers, however and, as she pursued her career in real estate she was often met with people who felt the need to emphasize the failure rate of would-be real estate agents: a staggering 90 percent. At this, the now-successful Ashley would politely but firmly hold her ground. 

“It’s like that saying about people doing impossible things. ‘They didn’t know it was impossible, so they did it.’”

That’s why S.H.E. Week is so important to Ashley. She wants women in Frederick to have the platform to do those “impossible” things. And it’s a large step in the right direction for the greater Frederick community. 

Ashley, who is the co-chair of the Women in Business Committee at the Chamber, believes an event like S.H.E. Week is crucial to the community in Frederick and beyond, as it sets a precedent of recognition for women who have overcome gender bias and risen in the ranks of their field in spite of prejudice. Frederick is full of women who are starting or already run their own business, and S.H.E. Week is one large, collective voice offering those entrepreneurs support.

It’s a support system Ashley is fortunate to find in her real estate team that she manages alongside her husband Paul. Together they’ve developed Warthen Team, a group of supportive, knowledgeable, hard working individuals who provide Ashley with the safety net she needs in order to balance wok and family life as she and Paul work as real estate agents for the greater Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania areas.

Warthen Team is a sponsor of Frederick S.H.E Week.
