Try to go to your local chapter marketing sessions and start talking to brokerages that offer commercial divisions. It is way better than residential in my opinion.

Talk to them. A quick note: you'll need to pull the bandaid off and go all commercial. This hybrid BS will sink any chances of your commercial success. Also try to partner with a more senior person. That exposure and experience is worth however much they get in your pocket if they're good and the right fit for what you want to do.", "replies": [{"id": "fiwzul7", "text": "That\u2019s the plan, just hoping it works out", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fj4n1jk", "text": "Can you look into working as a broker or tenant rep for a full services real estate company?", "replies": [{"id": "fj4tbbe", "text": "I think so, I am definitely going to have to leave the firm I\u2019m at as they don\u2019t do any commercial, it\u2019s just nerveracking leaving residential to pursue commercial but I\u2019m sure it will be great!", "replies": [{"id": "fkd3vux", "text": "I bet - I think it will be a big change.
