IRVINE, CA-Like thousands of commercial real estate professionals near the end of May, GlobeSt.com Thought Leader Auction.com will be attending the International Council of Shopping Centers' RECon. Though known primarily for the multifamily and monthly regional auctions around the country, the firm does a good amount of retail real estate business as well. Eric Paulsen, co-chief executive officer of the fim discusses with GlobeSt.com his company's involvement in the retail real estate sector.

GlobeSt.com: Where does retail rank compared to other sectors in your auctions?

Paulsen: As far as the hottest, it is multifamily, but retail would be our largest sector on the platform. About 27% that we have sold so far has been retail. But we've had product-specific multifamily auctions, not product-specific retail auctions. It's been a more demanded product. We have debated having a retail one later this year.
