I'm man active broker at MM and some of what is said is true, some is situational based on office and team, some is from competitors who are sour, and some from former brokers who are sour.  \n\nPros:. You learn how to sell better than anywhere else.  Lower barrier to entry and don't have to spend 2 years as an analyst before you can attempt brokerage.  I'm an exception I did make 100k+ in my first year but most don't.  However, the mid term upside is there.  Before the shutdown I was on track to net 500k+. I'll do a little more than half than that in the first 6 months.  MM is the largest and they focus on the market segment where the majority of the commercial product for within. 2-10 million.  It's not as glamorous but you often do more volume and get larger fees. There are teams that have carved their own niche and compete in the higher tier product.\n\nCons: It is a meat grinder, Pick your team, office, and product type wisely.  There's no salary like at some firms but it's a trade off that you don't owe that money back and or have to wait 2 years + to be a broker.  MM is typically not a higher echelon commercial brokerage but is way above your local kw commercial or Coldwell banker offices.  You often compete with brokers in your own office and team.   No gauranteed money and it is mostly sink or swim. \n\n\nOverall it's a great place to learn the business.  I may not be at MM forever but I do appreciate what I've learned and what's it's allowed me to do.  Many of the criticisms have some truth but are often exaggerated and or worst case scenario. There is going to be issues at any brokerage you go to. Anyone who says otherwise is being disengenous.  I've been head hunted by many of the firms and am considering offers but I'm not blind in thinking the grass is magically greener.  Their are trade offs whenever you go.\n\n\nEdit: feel free to dm me", "replies": [{"id": "fmisrfr", "text": "Thanks for the reply.

We are trying to share information and assist owners in navigating the current situation.  \n\nIf you are taking this time off entirely you are missing out on future business.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fmiwiu1", "text": "Depends on team.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "fmiyzql", "text": "Definitely depends. I am also with MM out of the Florida office and specializing in NNN retail. All MM agents are independent contractors so you really just need to know who you are hiring. The MM platform is a fantastic platform to source deals between $1-$10MM and to build a market since it facilitates the movement of Private Capital across state lines better than other platforms I\u2019ve researched. With that said, you\u2019re hiring the individual broker to get your deals done. Not all brokers are created equal. Our team strives to be leaders in the industry and to be better than most out there, but I would encourage everyone interview their broker for track record, process, and ethics prior to engagement. It\u2019s like you\u2019re hiring your deal Batman and the MM platform is the utility belt. The platform ultimately helps facilitate success, but it\u2019s the man behind the mask that gets the job done. I also try to share useful content on IG both to help brokers be better brokers and to inform investors on good deals and market intel.
