Latest Nevada Commercial Real Estate Industry Feature
Industry Focus: Brokers
Originally Published: https://nevadabusiness.com/2026/05/nevada-brokers/
Professionals working in Nevada’s commercial real estate industry are being challenged on all sides. While many of these challenges are not necessarily new, others are projected to impact the industry long-term. Technology is changing the way business is done by creating more efficiencies. While this is surely positive news for an industry that is often encumbered by lengthy contracts, AI and automation are opening the door to new client demands.
Despite these challenges, the experts are focused on training the next generation of commercial real estate brokers.
Recently a group of brokers in commercial real estate met at a roundtable sponsored by Nevada State Bank to discuss their industry. Connie Brennan, publisher and CEO of Nevada Business Magazine, served as moderator for the event. These monthly roundtables bring together different industries to discuss issues and solutions.
