But if you're making money there's nothing to stop you from staying where you're at.

In my market, the small shops don\u2019t stand a chance for the most part against the large firms. It\u2019s night and day honestly. The training you get and resources the large firms provide makes you a much more capable broker with more information at your fingertips than most small shops I have experience with. \n\nThat said - if you are trying to do leasing as well, you may be able to grow a brand around you and be the market leader, the local guy. \n\nHaving a track record, large name, and national brand recognition wins me deals time and time again when competing against the smaller local shops. Again, I don\u2019t touch leasing and only focus on investment sales.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
