Need to Know, Part 7

Springfield Business Journal Editor Eric Olson, left, discusses the Branson real estate market with broker Mark Weisz, owner of Hollister-based Weisz Commercial Realty, during SBJ’s July 15 12 People You Need to Know breakfast. Weisz said the Branson area is experiencing a slight downturn in tourism and some fallout from over-building, adding that many developers are in wait-and-see mode.

“It’s a great time to be a buyer,” he told the crowd at the Clarion Hotel’s Newsroom Café. “It’s a good time to see what you can acquire at a price that makes sense.”

The next installment of the monthly series, scheduled for Aug. 12, will feature CoxHealth Vice President/Chief Nursing Officer Karen Kramer. Event details and registration are available at sbj.net.
