View the Session | Pivoting During the Pandemic: An Interactive CORFAC Member Town Hall “I tell people to use CORFAC as an arrow in your quiver. Most of our business is local and regional; however, there are those times when we are competing against the bigger networks. That’s the time to pull out that you are part of an international network with 70+ offices. It can help the prospect check the box on reach and coverage. Read the situation and use your membership to your advantage.” Scott Hensley, CCIM, SIOR Piedmont Properties of the Carolinas/CORFAC International Charlotte, NC |

However, there will be some painful times and tough adjustments ahead.” Anita Kramer Senior Vice President, Real Estate Economics & Capital Markets Urban Land Institute |
