Looking for Advice on Choosing a Broker
I am looking for some CRE advice. I recently passed the Real Estate sales person exam, and am looking to get involved in the CRE world. Here is my situation:

I work for my family's CRE management company, and we own and manage multi-family properties in the area. 

Ideally what I want to do is to find properties for us to buy, and possibly broker the deal. So I passed the sales person exam, and am now looking for sponsorship. I suppose I am looking to get involved part time in the sales side of things, because commissions would not be my main source of income as I probably wont be involved on closing many deals a year. A majority of my time will be involved in our management companies' day to day work. 

I have talked to a few brokers who have all said "this is NOT a part time job" I know that there is A LOT of work that goes into closing a commercial deal, but really what I am looking for is to learn how to value a property and see if we can make it profitable long term. 

What should I look for in a broker? I definitely need training, and am considering a CCIM. Should I not focus so much on brokering deals on my own (which I know I cannot do right now having never closed so much as a residential deal) and just make contacts with brokers in the area who can come to me with listings? Would a Commercial Brokerage even be interested in spending resources training me knowing all this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Pay your splits and no one cares.  \n\nStay away from M&amp;M, CBRE etc who are expecting to put you in teams and have you hit production numbers.  Look for regional brokers, SVN and guys like that.  They won't hold your hand, but they will gladly hold your license and let you commission your familie's companies deals.  Your family can teach you, sounds like they know.\n\nedit-  also just to add on, most cre investment brokers will state in the NDA that you agree no commission will be given to anyone who is principal to the transaction.  So be aware of that.  You might be able to skirt around it with some, but expect some fights over your commission when they figure out whats going on.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
