What's the deal with Matthews Real Estate Investment Services?
Before I say anything else,  I know there are some very legit brokers at Mathews that make a killing.   
 With that said, it seems like 95% of the listing they have in my market are listed by someone that looks like they are still in high school and have no idea what they are doing.  Can anyone explain this?

While that model may work for a bit, you eventually end up shooting yourself in the foot because the same client is getting 8 calls a week from people in the same office and they get annoyed. Don\u2019t get me wrong, you can definitely make good money with Matthews but you have to be the former competitive athlete with a jock personality-type.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "i0qsgg6", "text": "Short story: They (4 brokers on the listing) listed a 40,000 SF Industrial building in my market for $80/sf. Comps were around $120/sf so I called the lead broker. Asked him some basic questions like \u201cis the dock a full dock or semi-dock?\u201d and he legit had no idea what I was talking about.

I came in there with over $8B of Closed Debt &amp; Equity experience and became increasingly frustrated with that arm of the company they were trying to develop. We agreed that it wasn't a good fit at the time and I went to work for another shop. \n\nI think it'd be a great company to work for coming out of college, but not for a seasoned veteran in the capital markets space. I had over $220MM of exclusive debt &amp; equity assigments signed up, with the highest fee volume than anyone in the company within 3 months of starting. \n\nThere were a couple deals that I requested assistance with as they were for $120MM+ Resort Developments out in CO. I received zero feedback from the upper management in HQ and further silence from the top brass in the company. I knew right then and there it wasn't going to be a good fit. \n\nKeep in mind, the third deal I closed in my career was $252MM when I was 26 years old. The fact that the guys who had been in the space for almost as long as I've been alive couldn't even reply that they didn't know how to help me was the nail in the coffin.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
