Carlsbad, CA (April 17, 2017)—Tina Lichens, Chief Operating Officer of Carlsbad-based Real Capital Markets (RCM), has been recognized as a Top Woman in Southern California Real Estate by a national real estate and legal industry publisher, ALM Real Estate Media.

The award, announced in early April, recognizes Lichens’ accomplishments in commercial real estate and the charitable work she has been involved in, including efforts supporting the development of professional women in Southern California. ALM Real Estate Media publishes GlobeSt., Real Estate Forum and The American Lawyer.

“It has been tremendously rewarding to see the changing role women play in the world of commercial real estate and to be an active participant in that transformation,” Lichens said.

We are proud of the acknowledgement Tina has received.”

Lichens is a veteran of 21 years in the commercial real estate industry and has spent nearly 16 years at RCM. Before becoming COO, she served in multiple roles within the RCM organization; all were designed to further enhance the overall client experience.

Tina is a member of the San Diego Chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) and Athena San Diego, a professional development association serving women in science and technology. Athena is a community of dynamic women that provides inspiration, education, networking and leadership programs that empower women to realize their true potential.
