Bizwomen: Julie Butticarlo negotiates the commercial real estate industry

Starting as a receptionist, Julie Butticarlo has seen almost everything in commercial real estate, including the subprime real estate crisis. She credits her negotiating and networking skills with getting her through challenging situations.

I have more than 35 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry, an industry marked by lots of change. I’ve learned you have to be an effective negotiator to not only successfully navigate the ups and downs of the real estate cycle, but this skillset has also served me well throughout my career journey.

From acquisitions and asset management to lease negotiations and strategic dispositions, my role at Westmount Realty Capital requires honed top-notch negotiation skills to ensure the firm has stable and profitable leases with solid tenant relationships and improved occupancy rates.
