The journey from residential to commercial real estate is one many professionals consider but few navigate with confidence. 

While residential REALTORS® may be tempted to take on commercial listings, sales, or leasing opportunities, venturing into this specialized sector without the right knowledge and experience can carry significant risks.

• Cory Wright, Founder and Managing Broker, William Wright Commercial Real Estate 
• Eugen Klein, Founder and Principal, Klein Group at Royal LePage Westside 

From complex legal considerations to valuation challenges and specialized client needs, our panel will explore real-world scenarios where expertise matters most with insights on: 

• The key distinctions between residential and commercial transactions 
• How to position yourself for long-term growth and opportunity in the commercial sector 
• The potential pitfalls of working outside your area of expertise 
• Real-world advice from leaders with decades of industry experience
