You know I subscribe so I'll check it out.

You have to have a lot of patience to be in CRE, good with numbers, deals make sense for completely different reasons than residential.

I love it!

I am probably more commerical than residential even though I sell residential. I don't deal with other agents, insteasd I work directly with builders and sell directly to investors.

My coach suggested it last year, and I did consider it since I much prefer that part of real estate, rather than digging too far into this part of the game I did bring a strong commercial agent into the team to serve this part of our clientele.

I was a commercial agent for long time. Over the years, I transitioned to residential, now I'm about 90% residential and 10% commercial for the last 13+ years. I'll still do the odd commercial deal for clients with small to medium office buildings, flex condos, medical offices, smaller warehouses, and some retail. Doing a good size deal as we speak.

I was working with the big blue chip well know corporations - office, retail, industrial, warehousing/distribution centers, railroad compounds, manufacturing plants....

My favorite sarcastic line from my commercial days is how I learned to walk backwards from meetings so I would not get stabbed in the back on my out.

Real Estate is a vast sea of many dynamics each one specific to their own. I experimented with the many sectors like property management, hard money loans, appraisals, commercial, residential, buyers, sellers, new construction, & so much more before settling down to where my skills bank & the industry I chose fit like hand & glove and I handled it as a second nature i.e. without effort. Dabbling is one thing mastery another
