Running a commercial real estate business is no easy task. But local CRE veteran Pam Goodwin is not only doing this, she is also thriving at the same time, building a steady stream of celebrity clients and closing a variety of big deals in her market.

Plano-based Goodwin Commercial specializes in developing property with national retailers and restaurants and is a boutique brokerage company. The company has earned a foothold in a busy commercial real estate market, thanks to going above and beyond and the top customer service and market knowledge that Goodwin provides.

Goodwin's success is not surprising to anyone who's followed her career. Goodwin has worked in commercial real estate for more than three decades. Before forming her own company in 2006, she worked as a Property Development Manager for Brinker International, Inc., where she was responsible for new restaurant developments for more than 50+ Chili's and On the Border locations across the country.

Goodwin also brings 15 years of experience in million-square-foot-plus mall developments, where she focused on everything from project and construction management to tenant coordination, city permit approval and grand-openings.

During her career, Goodwin has tackled several major projects. This includes serving on the team behind the $125 million renovation of Northridge Fashion Center following the Northridge, California, earthquake in 1994, and new tenant design and construction on the $150 million expansion and renovation of the upscale Towson Town Center retail center in Towson, Maryland. This major project involved the addition of 130 new stores and a food court.

What has kept Goodwin in this industry for so long? She points to the variety that each day brings. "Every deal is different, and the people you meet start as clients and become lifelong friends," Goodwin said. The amount of money you are able to make in this business is unlimited if you work hard and invest in your own properties to acquire."

These successes don't mean that Goodwin hasn't had to overcome hurdles in her career. "Time has to be one of the greatest challenges in the industry," she said. "You can work months or even years on a deal or project and it falls apart or never happens. I have learned not to dwell on it and to move on quickly. After being in the industry for so long, you have to be tough not to quit during economic downturns and find new opportunities."

Despite her busy career, Goodwin has found time to give back to her community. She serves as Chair for her city's Zoning Board of Adjustments and is a member of and contributor to Forbes Real Estate Council, an invitation-only organization for executives in the real estate industry. In addition, she is highly involved in a group of women in commercial real estate called Deals in Heels based in Dallas that meets monthly. Pam is a sought-out speaker on investing in commercial real estate courses throughout the US and hosts a national tv show interviewing celebrities, entrepreneurs, and hometown heroes.

When not working, Goodwin enjoys spending time with her husband Eric, two grown sons Grant and Garrett and friends. She also travels frequently, and recently took a family trip to Croatia to spend time with her cousins. After an annual 3D mammogram she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, she wanted to give back and Goodwin co-founded the "Kiss Breast Cancer Goodbye" gala in 2021 with headliner Dolly Parton to raise funds for breast cancer research. To date, she has raised with her committee more than $237,000 to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Pam lives by two mantras which are 'Never, Never, Never Give Up' and 'Find a Way.’
