Introducing our new searchable CRE glossary

Walker & Dunlop is committed to providing resources that make navigating commercial real estate (CRE) easier. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our new searchable version of the CRE glossary—an enhanced, user-friendly tool designed to simplify your learning experience and give you instant access to industry terminology.

Why we upgraded

For years, we’ve offered a downloadable glossary, updated annually, to keep you informed about the latest CRE terminology. However, we knew we could do more to enhance accessibility and usability. With the industry's fast pace, quick, on-the-go access to definitions isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

Our new glossary web page is designed to meet this need, combining powerful search and filter features with seamless integration into our website’s rich content library.

Key features of the new glossary

Search functionality: Finding the term you need has never been easier. Simply type in the word you’re looking for, and the glossary will quickly narrow down results, saving you time and effort.

Filtering options: How to spell a term? Want to explore a specific area of CRE? Our filter options let you sort by letter or category, helping you zero in on precisely what you need. Whether you’re learning a new facet of the business or searching for a tricky term, we’ve got you covered.

Easy PDF download: Do you prefer a hard copy or want to share the glossary with your team? You can easily download a PDF version directly from the glossary page. The PDF comes equipped with internal hyperlinks, allowing you to easily jump between categories—perfect for both print and digital use.

Hyperlinked terms for deeper learning: When you come across terms related to our services or specialties, you’ll find them hyperlinked to dedicated pages. This allows you to explore more in-depth content, giving you a fuller understanding of the concepts that matter most to your business.

Stay updated on CRE terms

We know the CRE landscape is constantly evolving, so expect regular glossary updates to ensure you always have the most accurate, current definitions at your fingertips.
