I want to work in commercial real estate. I am working in Hotel Management at the moment, but think commercial real estate is interesting. Im young enough where a career change is not out of the question. What types of things do employers look for? Is there a high demand for people in commercial real estate?

Actually, what matters in real estate business is not your background but your connections. I am not however telling you that educational background or work experiences are dispensable. What I mean is, they are just secondary. Well, if you have a target market or list of people who are planning to buy real estates, then grab the opportunity. Real estate is one of the most rewarding careers. Remember that in establishing yourself in the real estate business, you should start with proper motivation and patience. By the time you start real estate, you might even need to work extra hours in order to establish a network of clients. What matters in real estate is your connection, patience and ability to mutually satisfy your objectives and your clients’ demands.
I suggest that you have a short study of real estate. This will be of help in your chosen career. You can either study by yourself (buy real estate book) or enrol yourself to short term courses that focusses on real estate.
Good luck to your career shift!
Cheers
