With the new year upon us, I thought I’d use my podcast this month to examine what’s in store for the commercial real estate industry in 2012. In the coming year, REALTORS® will be working on key issues such as easing the contraction in small-business lending, bridging an equity gap, and increasing bank liquidity. You can be sure that finding solutions to these issues is a priority for NAR and will go a long way toward setting the industry on a path for growth.
