At the 2025 annual convention in Austin, Texas, Natalie Breen of CREW Boston was awarded the CREW Network’s Rising Star Impact Award. Natalie Breen’s connection to CREW Network began in 2013, when she attended her first convention as a first-generation college student and scholarship recipient. Inspired by that experience, she later served on the Member Education and Scholarship Selection Committees, giving back to the organization that shaped her early career. Today, Natalie leads a team of four, manages a portfolio of over 400 clients, and has personally closed more than $30 million in sales—all while actively engaging with CREWbiz to seek advice, build confidence, and support others in commercial real estate. Her journey reflects a deep and ongoing commitment to CREW, mentorship, and the advancement of women in the industry.
