Our Bridging the Gap: Understanding the Realities of Commercial Real Estate panel was among the most popular at PacificWest 2025, with an engaging discussion focused on helping REALTORS® navigate the transition from residential to commercial practice.

Our panelists shared valuable insights into the unique challenges and opportunities within commercial real estate, they:

  • highlighted the key distinctions between residential and commercial transactions,
  • offered strategies for positioning yourself for long-term growth, and
  • addressed the risks of working outside your area of expertise.

Attendees walked away with practical knowledge and a renewed appreciation for the importance of specialized training, mentorship, and collaboration in commercial real estate.

The session served as a great reminder that while expanding your skill set can open new doors, success in commercial real estate starts with understanding its complexities—and knowing when to seek expert guidance.

Special thanks to panelists Eugen Klein (not pictured), Tony Letvinchuk (pictured left) and Cory Wright (pictured right) for sharing their insights and expertise.
