The designation reflects Ragan’s consistent presence on Instagram, where she shares an insider’s view of Dallas development, urban revitalization, and life as a woman building a company in a male-dominated industry.

Why This Recognition Matters
Commercial real estate has been slow to embrace digital presence as a legitimate professional asset. The CREi Summit has spent years arguing the opposite — that consistent, authentic content builds the kind of trust and visibility that translates into deals, speaking opportunities, and industry influence. Ragan’s Instagram presence is exactly the kind of platform CREi points to as evidence: it is personal enough to be credible and professional enough to be useful.
Being named to the list in 2023 was the starting point of a five-year consecutive recognition streak that has included both Instagram and X, and culminated in Ragan taking the stage at the 2025 CREi Summit to speak on podcasting and authentic brand visibility alongside Crexi’s Director of Content Marketing.
