Clubhouse App - Networking? Too much? Your Experience? Thoughts?
Anyone else using Clubhouse? New social networking platform for CRE...thoughts? I’m hoping this will be an opportunity to actually learn from the industry, as my current employment (3.5 years) hasn’t really done much for me beyond “sink or swim”.

I suppose any networking tool is useful and the ability to learn is dependent on the interaction. I\u2019ve found that most brokers just want to tell you how great they are doing whether true or not.

So difficult to think about switching now though, I know my company is highly efficient and honestly better than most in my area (document drafts, volume, processing, etc.). Like most companies, they\u2019re protective of their networks and it seems to push younger agents/brokers away. I get it, they\u2019ve spent years building their personal networks, but eventually, someday, they\u2019re going to have to give the reigns to a younger generation and I\u2019m concerned we won\u2019t have the proper education to handle it \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f", "replies": [{"id": "gl2503h", "text": "Dude you gotta find a solid producing senior broker in your market that you can connect with.

I have been in the business now for six years. My dad is a developer but I\u2019ve had to go out and figure everything out on my own.

I work with a broker who\u2019s got a great reputation and he helped me get a solid start in the business but everything that I\u2019ve done to become successful has fallen on me. I\u2019ve done the networking, I seek out educational opportunities, I pay for my own personal and professional development.
