ORLANDO, FL-If you look over time at the 10-year treasury note rate, and the real estate sales and real estate mortgage activity values, you will find that there is a very strong correlation.

Paige Steers, an SVP at Jones Lang LaSalle, interviewed Frater and provided GlobeSt.com with an exclusive interview where the CEO talked about a modest taper and what that will mean for CRE.
