“Sales”/Relationship Style Roles at a CRE firm/reit/etc.
I understand at an analyst level this may be different/difficult, but besides brokerage and originations, what would be other types of CRE roles/positions to build up too that would foster to someone with a sales personality? I know maybe a real estate bond desk on the sales side. Any other ideas?
