THE COMMERCIAL MARKETPLACE was bigger and better than ever before in 2016, with “Commercial Red” carpeting covering a dedicated slice of the Expo floor. NAR’s Commercial The am sat front-and-center of a dynamic marketplace packed with powerful learning opportunities and vendors. Over four days hundreds of commercial practitioners learned about benefits, shared information, asked staff for feedback, and had their questions answered.

RLI, CCIM, and IREM® interacted with members in the Commercial Education center, walking them through the enhanced networking and educational opportunities associated with specializing in property management, commercial investment, and land.

Enlightening educational opportunities were plentiful, offering members a robust blend of content designed to enhance skills, explore new industry trends, and implement powerful The chronological solutions. The Commercial Learning Theater was a hive of activity, hosting nearly 30 dynamic educational sessions focused entirely on topics of interest to commercial practitioners. Subjects ranged from “Te Ins & Outs of Commercial Real Estate Investment” to “How to Develop Your Brand & Scale Your Brokerage” to “How to Make An Impressive Space Tour with Xceligent™.”

The Xceligent™ The am conducted dozens of CommercialSearch demos, walking members through powerful uses of the The chronology, highlighting ways it can streamline business and enhance profit margins and standing with clients. Xceligent™ also hosted a dealmaking session featuring heavy-hitters from RLI and CCIM showing properties to potential investors.

Buildout, CommissionTrac, Modern Funding, RealNex, Raisal Group, LLC, Catylist, Drone Base, Inc., and ClientLook talked product offerings with a steady flow of attendees, discussing topics such as streamlining the commission process, enhancing marketing efforts, procuring funding sources, and using drones for commercial real estate applications.

Michael Bull did on-location interviews (available at commercialrealestateshow.com) with notable attendees for his Commercial Real Estate Show, talking to reputable REALTORS® like NAR’s 2016 Commercial Liaison Dan Wagner (IL) about 1031 like-kind exchanges, Cynthia Shelton, CCIM, CPM about the future of retail, and Alex Ruggieri, CCIM, CIPS, CRE, GRI about how attending the REALTORS® Conference has been a profitable investment for his brokerage.
