Commercial Real Estate vs CRE Financing / Mortgages

[Glenn Gayet]

I am looking to get into either commercial real estate or commercial real estate financing / mortgages. What I like about commercial real estate is that it appears to be more of an overall learning experience rather than mostly financial as with CRE financing. In CRE I see myself more as a hunter finding properties for investors, almost as if I am an investor myself. One of the reasons I am considering CRE financing is because it seems that CRE is largely listings based, meaning, it seems like most brokers want agents to focus on listings, and like I said, it is much more natural for me to be a buyers agent. I'd be beginning in the Denver / Boulder market. Any input on what to expect in each field would be appreciated. Thank you!
