The Weekly Take from CBRE

CBRE’s Laura O’Brien, Chris Ludeman and Bill Concannon offer sage advice and discuss lessons learned as they wrap up storied commercial real estate careers—a must-listen for anyone interested in seasoned perspectives on our industry’s past, present and future.

Insights to Share:

1. From Laura O’Brien: “Mentorship should actually be intentional. If you ask someone in this company to be your mentor, chances are they will say yes, but you have to make the first move.”

2. From Chris Ludeman: “Take the work that we have been asked to do very seriously, but never take yourself too seriously.”

3. From Bill Concannon: “Commercial real estate is a complex sale and a long cycle. So building trust requires time with people you know face to face.”
