Easier Way to Find Brokers after leaving my current firm
Hey all,

My former broker recently sold the company and now I am interviewing multiple commercial real estate brokerages and teams for each broker to work with.

I wish there was an easier way to find a broker that fits my style, smaller more boutique but with the technology and administration to help with transactions. Same thing for when I was just starting out too.

&amp;#x200B;

Anyone else have any experiences with firms they wish they did not join or are glad they stumbled upon?

Find out anyone and everyone you know who is working, or has worked, in real estate. Speak to them and get the real inside story on their experiences. Plus, they can introduce you to people they know, which can open up even more doors. \n\nChoosing the right firm is important, but choosing the right partner or team is even more important.
