New broker looking to gain market knowledge, how?
Im a brand new broker in CRE. Ive been told one of the keys to success is becoming a specialist in your local market. The buildings, the tenants, the lease's, etc. How does one gain a local knowledge of these things? Whats the best way to do this? 

Any advice helps, thanks

Get out in the market, you'll be surprised what you remember. Then, use the computer to aggregate and look at macro data... and you'll be better equipped to make calls and discuss property specifics as well.

You can ask them about their buildings to see whats available, asking rates, etc and they will oftentimes let you know who is taking meetings in their building or who is in the market.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
