Summary
Commercial vs. residential real estate… which path is right for you?
This episode was such a fun and eye-opening chat because we brought in a true expert, Carl Landreneau, to break it all down. And what we quickly realized is that this isn't about which one is "better"… it's about which one fits YOU.
Because while both sides of real estate rely on relationships and education, the day-to-day, timelines, and even personalities required are completely different.
We're talking short-term vs long-term deals, emotional vs analytical clients, and why some agents thrive in one space but feel totally out of place in the other.
Carl shares what it really looks like to build a career in commercial real estate, including the slower pipeline, bigger deals, and the patience it takes to succeed.
And if you've ever wondered if you should "dabble" in commercial… you're going to want to hear this before you do 😅
Here's what we cover in this episode:
-Why commercial vs residential real estate comes down to personality
-The major differences in contracts, timelines, and deal structure
-Why commercial deals can take months… or even years
-How agents get paid in commercial (and why it's not always straightforward)
-The biggest mistake residential agents make when trying commercial
-How to break into commercial real estate (internships, mentorship, and patience)
-The importance of relationships and networking in both sectors
-What a typical workday looks like in commercial vs residential
-Why specialization matters more in larger markets
-How teams and collaboration work in commercial real estate
