What don't you know?

What historical trends are in play to aid us in uncovering opportunities? What are the current lending trends and how can this information assist you in making a deal? If this piques your interest, join us at the “Evaluating Today’s Financing Options” session at the CCIM Live! Conference.

These topics and more will be covered by our respected panelists: Brian Baily, Senior Financial Policy Analyst with the Federal Reserve and John G. Manganiello, Senior Vice President and Market Executive with Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s Business Banking Team.

This fast paced session with “real time” information is designed to provide you with insight from respected industry leaders.

The reality of our business is that it’s always changing, and if we don’t keep a diligent eye towards macro and micro indicators, we will miss out on opportunities.

As the moderator of this session, I’m looking forward to seeing you at this dynamic session Friday, October 25th at 12:30 P.M. After all, sometimes we simply don’t know what we don’t know.
