Broker looking to relocate to different market potentially
I’m a broker currently looking to relocate to Miami for commercial real estate brokering at the end of this year. I specialize in MF product type. Brokers who work in this market or have relocated themselves to new places how did the transition go for you

Most MF listings have the same information as a SFR. Then when I speak to the broker, they can\u2019t provide anything additional. It\u2019s beyond frustrating when you can\u2019t even get a current rent roll, let alone anything more.", "replies": [{"id": "i2gs9ix", "text": "No joke, the brokers ive dealt with in Florida are the WORST i've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.\n\nAll border line retarded.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "i2fe9ub", "text": "It was hard. I even moved within the same state from large market to the other. Essentially depending on contacts but even then you are starting 100% over. The only difference is you know what you didn\u2019t know before (I was new when I first started and 3 years experience when I moved).\n\nLearning a new market is tough. You want to pick up business right away but then if they ask questions you don\u2019t know\u2026not a good look. \n\nOver all it\u2019s hard but doable. Expect no income for about a year +. Again, it\u2019s brokerage so you could find something immediately or make a great connection day 1. But expect a big learning curve, and no income as you break into a competitive city with established brokers who know the market competing against you.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
