The commercial real estate sector undoubtedly faces a difficult road ahead, but we can be comforted in the fact that the industry as a whole will never become obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>As real \u201ctangible\u201d property, brick-and-mortar assets are not going to go away as a major investment class, despite lower valuations. While land and building ownership may deleverage and change hands, with mortgage notes getting traded to new borrowers, the vast majority of commercial real estate will continue to have a very long asset life. Real property will continue to need to be re-tenanted, repaired and repositioned, offering long-term, sustainable career paths for both veteran professionals and those newer to the industry.<\/p>\n<p>According to CREW Network\u2019s recent research white paper, \u201cRepositioning Your Real Estate Career to Succeed in an Era of Change,\u201d new opportunities will emerge for those willing and able to reposition into specialties that will be in demand due to the changing economy:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Frozen credit markets will lead to demand for expertise in securities, bankruptcy, distressed portfolio management, appraisers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Drop in consumer spending will lead to demand for retail strategies and design, and property leasing.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Increasing government involvement and regulation will lead to a need for experts in compliance, as well as accountants and controllers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Global warming will lead to increases in jobs pertaining to sustainability issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 The residential real estate meltdown will create opportunities for those with expertise in multifamily leasing and development.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt about it. Challenging times lie ahead. But the industry will always be in need of dealmakers who are creative, innovative, and resourceful. Those who can capitalize on opportunities that exist in the market and reposition themselves for professional growth are the ones who will not only survive the downturn, but will emerge as winners for decades to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 As companies retrench across the commercial real estate industry and layoffs compound by the month, it is no surprise that some professionals are giving serious thought whether they should change careers and abandon the industry altogether.
