The interviewer wants to know that you have earned your place as a Commercial Broker by first cutting your teeth in the industry through the residential real estate route. Most Commercial Brokers will first work for a few years in the residential space, learning about the industry before taking on commercial responsibilities. In some states, prior residential real estate experience is a requirement before you can earn your commercial license.

Since this question is open-ended, be sure to keep a well-organized answer that is brief. The interviewer is not asking for a career autobiography; rather, some important career highlights that will make you stand out from other candidates. For this reason, be sure to include some of your most significant career wins as a residential real estate agent.
