Annoying shit brokers do - from an institutional investor's perspective
JLL: stop watermarking your god damn OMs. I can't read anything.

Eastdil: accept the CAs electronically for Christ's sake. Sometimes I pass on your offerings just because I don't want to deal with paperwork and waiting a week for you to mail me the OM.

Cushman: check your numbers in your OMs, and stop saying "make it a great day" on your fucking voice mail greetings. Or is the voicemail a Marcus &amp; Millichap thing? Ah who cares, Cushman and M&amp;M both suck balls most of the time.

CBRE: stop overvaluing your offerings; you are wasting everyone's time.

HFF: keep doing what you're doing.

General advice to brokers: 

* CITE YOUR SOURCES IN YOUR OM or I will have to do all the work over again. When you cite your sources it makes my job so much easier, and I like you for it. Anyone who is doing due diligence properly will check every fact coming out of an OM into the investment model &amp; memo, so please cite sources for market and demographic data, etc.

* Don't call my cell to discuss an offering in which I've shown no interest

* Don't call my cell in the evening or weekend

* Don't be a jerk on the phone - I will remember it (duh?)

* Don't do a huge email blast until the OM, Argus &amp; ideally some DD are ready
