How would you stereotype retail leasing agents vs office leasing agents?

How would you stereotype retail leasing agents vs office leasing agents? As someone new to the industry, trying to refine my purpose, fall into the right hands, what is your raw unabashed stereotypes of these two groups? Or any insight that you may have, about differences between retail brokers and office brokers? No need to censor yourself. Thank you so much.

Retail leasing agents focus on retail assignments, while office leasing agents focus on office assignments. I hate to stereotype, but more often than not that's the case.

There really isn't much of a stereotype difference between the two, the bigger difference would be a SUCCESSFUL one vs an UNSUCCESSFUL one. Being likable, competent, and resilient is all it takes, though many people struggle with that triple threat (lol).
