Anyone know anything about SVN? Looks like they are a full service with international presence. Checking them out, want to see their terms and services.
Also, in your expert opinion, what typically sets one commercial agency from the others if you had a choice to choose again
[{"id": "fxvxxs8", "text": "Check them out.  [https://svn.com/](https://svn.com/) \n\nIn our area commercial paid brokers are getting laid off left and right. Over saturated industry.  If you are young MBA fresh out of school they may want to talk to you. The market is bad in the USA in genral.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fxw88rq", "text": "Probably better than Matthews, or other Marcus clone shops. They may be heavy hitters in very niche mf markets but meh their best days are likely behind them. \n\nBrokers want to be fed deals, and will take a lower cut to do so. \n\nAnd platform is nice, but it just means cross selling to people you may not trust because the company told you so. \n\nAnd then there are bare bones shops where people go to hang their liscense, where it is basically a better funded resi shop. You eat what you kill and everyone mostly stays in their lane. And svn is this type.", "replies": [{"id": "fxx8h1s", "text": "Thank you for your input.  Also thinking of going to CW capital markets but I'm not sure what happens to my current inventory as it crosses lanes.

Drop the retail leasing, waste of time. Find someone to handle that for you with the hope that once it is leased up you will bring them in on the investment sale. Sell industrial all day every day. Retail sales are better then retail leasing but not great. \n\nDepends on where you are in your career. I would try to work with the oldest guys who have no real juniors beneath them. So many people are going to retire this cycle, taking those clients to the grave if you step up and make introductions now. \n\nCw has a lot of assholes, but their investment group is fairly nice. \n\nIf you are on the west coast, algermissen is a super great guy.
