New agent looking to transition into multifamily investment sales in Los Angeles. I'd love to buy you a cup of coffee and ask you some questions about your business!
what's up guys. pumped to say i'm finally in a position to transition from my shit industry into CRE. I've been wanting to do this for a while. I'm just taking my time doing research on brokerages in Los Angeles and making a list of people to start reaching out to for information interviews.

I'd really like to find a killer team and great mentorship, that's like my #1 priority. I think a smaller mom and pop shop might be the right fit for me but I'm hearing good things about some teams at the big guys like M&amp;M, but it just comes down to the individual people themselves.

anyway, I'm pumped to start meeting people, and start creating value in this industry. 

Is anybody around over the next few weeks to grab a cup of coffee? I'd love to ask you some questions about your business and see how I can bring value to you. 

I have some connections in the entertainment industry (i'm also a represented actor auditioning mainly for smaller roles on tv) with some agents &amp; producers which I think is unique value to bring to the table especially in a place like LA with intertwined industries all connected. All rich people know each other, it's small world at the end of the day.

I'm also starting waiting tables at a super expensive high end steakhouse in Beverly Hills starting this week, which will be a fantastic networking opportunity, as you need to make $$ to eat a place like that. 

I'm just excited to hit the ground running and start meeting cool people. 

hit me up if you're interested!
