Friend of mine went from unproductive broker to "Leasing Director" for a developer.
How does this work? He only had a year of experience as a broker and never closed a deal.

Just curious as he inferred that his salary alone is pushing six figures.

I didn't want to delve too much into his situation so I'm asking the experts here.
