I've spoken about cognitive entrenchment before – the notion that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and the preference for the familiar ways of doing things – in the context of sticking with analogue ways of doing things. And to be honest, that is how I often think...

When it comes to complexity, are all CRE deals equal?
Commercial real estate leasing deals can be complex, and take time and effort to get over the finish line. But this is not always due to the inherent nature of the deals because the actual terms of the deals can be extremely straightforward.
