Recognised in the industry as one of the leading commercial real estate podcasts

In 2023, Feedspot has listed PropertyShe #1 in their '25 Best London Real Estate Podcasts'. 

From the explosive advance of proptech to the rise of flexible working and smart buildings, the built environment is changing.

In the Propertyshe podcast, hosted by Mishcon de Reya Partner Susan Freeman, we'll be hearing from an eclectic mix of property personalities that define and make a difference to the industry.

Famously one of the most well connected women in real estate, Susan has been listed as ''The woman who knows everyone' by Bisnow, is ranked 40 in the Tyto Tech Top 100 in 2018, and has been named by Duke Long as one of the Top 10 'Most influential online commercial real estate people.

In 2021, Susan received an honorary doctorate from the University College of Estate Management (UCEM), in recognition of contribution to the built environment. 

An experienced real estate lawyer, her in depth understanding of the property market and business training as a Sloan Masters  MSc (London Business School) graduate, combined with a wide circle of contacts is an effective combination. Susan Freeman is Chair of the Future: Proptech Advisory Board and Deputy Chair of the British Property Federation Technology and Innovation Working Group.  She also writes a regular column for Property Week.

In 2022, Ascendix listed PropertyShe as one of their Top 10 Commercial Real Estate podcasts.
