I prefer commercial because the transactions are fewer but generally larger, and the clients tend to be more business-focused, which makes the process more predictable. I also enjoy the analytical side—market studies, ROI calculations, and longer-term leases.

That said, commercial real estate can be tougher when you’re new. The learning curve is steeper, deals take longer to close, and building a strong network of business clients takes time.​

All very true. I’ve known very few in the commercial that just started there. Most start elsewhere and then eventually move into it.

Real Estate is definitely tough when you are new. It really is a career that you have to build up. You have to be someone who is willing to dig their heels in and really work for it.
