Searching For New Brokerage
Hey Guys, 

Is anyone in the Florida market? I'm looking to join a commercial brokerage and leaving my current brokerage where I don't have any commercial support. I primarily focus on multifamily but have done a few retail deals and leases. I interviewed with CBRE last week however they don't have any open positions at the moment for their multifamily team. I reached out to a few other brokers today. From experience, what brokers would you recommend and how would you get into the door?

There are good and bad teams at CBRE JLL Colliers CushmanWakefield ect.... Look at those and also take a deep look at a few smaller shops. Some of the best teams are at boutique brokerages with a specialty. Also look at KW Commercial, the CRE arm of Keller Williams, they have a good presence in Florida. I believe Joe Williams the KW cofounder is in Florida. \n\nHope that helps.", "replies": [{"id": "fjkaiml", "text": "This is very true I am on principal side now but previously did brokerage.
