Has anyone gone from commercial Property Manager directly to Associate Broker? What are some tips / tricks you wish you knew from that transition?
Hi! I am currently a property manager, and have been since coming out of college 4 years ago. I feel like I have some pretty good footing and understanding of the Bay Area market in CRE. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar career path as I am looking at getting into CRE Brokerage, specially with Retail and possibly Industrial. I have connections with Retail.

Not rocket surgery!\n\nGet ready to cold call like a machine! \n\nTwo types of brokers, those that buy listings/lie (try to break high water marks) and those that are somewhat rational.  Brokers that squeeze everything are the worst!!", "replies": [{"id": "iivfgg5", "text": "Like a hellfire Rx9?", "replies": [{"id": "iivurmv", "text": "No. That's just getting shredded in the wrong way.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
