What advice would you give to women just starting out in commercial real estate? Have a written business plan. When you put your personal business plan in writing it is much more likely to come to fruition. Start by writing down why you are in the real estate business, what you like about it and what you expect from it. Some of the other areas to be sure to include are your marketing plan, model week, income and expenses, and your one, three and five year projections. It is important to review your plan at least quarterly to make sure you remain on track and to make any needed adjustments to the plan.
