Broker: How and why did you pick your Commercial real estate specialty?
I am 1 year into cre brokerage and HATE my specialty. I focus on 1-$10 mm multifamily at a top tier shop. 

Would like to make a move into a new specialty and have no one to speak to and seek advice from. Everyone I speak to has a bias, including managers who want to keep the status quo from their brokers, and  brokers of other specialties who don't want more competition.

I realized I liked it because it allowed me to use my finance background which I love in analyzing the development, operating, and exit aspects of the deals. Also instead of simply listing properties on the open market I get to go out and look for the perfect clients for each deal and place them together. Also it makes it feel like I am an exclusive broker where I'm the only one that has the access to certain deals.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "dj5fvkk", "text": "I still do any deal that comes my way, but I find that I specialize in office tenant rep.
