Join the discussion of WHY and HOW Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Michigan/Northern Indiana Real Estate designed and implemented a program for “Internal” “Commercial Real Estate Advisor” Designation and Certification (The Commercial Real Estate Platform).
While Residential and Commercial Real Estate transactions in most states require the same license, each area of expertise (Residential vs. Commercial) is vastly different from a skill, tools, expertise, training and risk management perspective.
Learn how the implementation of the Commercial Real Estate Platform and required certification is attracting new business and expanding the qualified “Commercial Advisor” Agent base while reducing risk management exposure.
