MNCAR – Monthly Spotlight- Roz Peterson
1. Why did you join MNCAR and how long have you been a member?
I knew I wanted to be in CRE—not residential so it was an easy decision to join MNCAR.
I joined as soon as I got my real estate license in 2007—it was an excellent time to go into real estate. My friends said it was a great time to learn!
2. Name one fun fact that makes your company or yourself different from others.
As a recovered former Minnesota State Representative, I am able to blend my two passions, CRE brokerage and public policy, through brokerage with Cerron Properties and as the Public Policy Director for NAIOP Minnesota Chapter.
3. What would you tell other CRE professionals about the need to join MNCAR?
We have found the information is more accurate on MNCAR than it is on other platforms, such as Costar for example. If you are a broker/realtor in CRE it is a must and it is also the best value.
4. Favorite CRE event of the year and why?
The Expo, of course! It is like going to a reunion where everyone who attends is fun, smart and cool.
5. What’s the next place on your travel bucket list?
I just got back from New Zealand which was definitely on the bucket list. The next spot—hitting all the national parks in Utah.
6. What do you think are going to be industry disruptors for the CRE field whether good or bad?
Artificial Intelligence, changes in consumer preferences and work models. I also think that regulations may also play a role down the road.
7. Any other fun information you would like to share?
I put 900 miles on my snowmobile in northern Minnesota last weekend.
