🎙️ EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Commercial Connections: Investing with Confidence, I share my personal and professional journey—from 20 years as a mortgage broker to becoming a CCIM commercial real estate advisor.

I talk about:

⦿ The ethical dilemma that led me to leave the mortgage industry

⦿ Breaking barriers as a woman in a male-dominated field

⦿ Why knowing your numbers and managing property well matters

⦿ How rising interest rates are reshaping investor strategy

⦿ The value of the CCIM designation and lifelong learning

We also look ahead at trends like AI in real estate and strategies for building long-term financial freedom.
