Candice Milano and Malessa Rambarran have never let their youth serve as an excuse for not being financially savvy.
From a young age, the millennial co-leaders of The Milano Rambarran Team at Brown Harris Stevens learned to appreciate the value of money, with their immigrant backgrounds guiding them along the way.
In 2017 the duo launched The Organization by Women in Real Estate (TOWRE) to help women and others learn how to invest and grow wealth through real estate.
