A University of Missouri graduate, Wehrle has also been involved in LGBTQ+ advocacy — serving three years as co-chair and currently as advisor for Anywhere Real Estate’s LGBTQ+ employee resource group, REALPRIDE.
“I’ve had the honor and privilege of having a career in the real estate industry. It’s a thrill for me to be of service, impacting the lives of homebuyers and sellers along with empowering/guiding agents and brokerage leadership towards success,” Wehrle said. “I believe our industry has the unique opportunity to be the ones who champion the removal of any barriers of homeownership entry for all marginalized groups including the LGBTQ+ community.
“The Alliance will continue to advocate and showcase examples of discrimination that hinder LGBTQ+ real estate professionals and our clients. We also have a commitment to welcome those real estate professionals who have LGBTQ+ children into the Alliance. With a growing membership pool, the opportunities to impact change grows each day.”
