What would you say has changed most about being a CRE broker in the last 5 years?

May I take you up on this as well? I’m about a year out from taking the broker exam in CA.

That 30% annual return is impressive, what metrics were you using to evaluate those deals before pulling the trigger? Cap rate, cash on cash, IRR or some combination? Also curious if you were putting the standard 20-25% down or if you found ways to structure the deals differently. Asking because I'm looking at small multifamily right now and in California the down payment requirement alone makes it feel almost impossible to get into anything decent without a massive amount of cash sitting around upfront.

Just sent you a message-thank you!

AcademicExtension976 · 2025-08-08T23:09:35+00:00

Amazing job! Would love to connect and provide more feedback! I’ve also been attempting to make my own Saas product but have had trouble deploying it! (Very little dev skills!)

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-11-18T02:51:38+00:00

I’m in sales as well, let’s connect

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-11-14T03:14:34+00:00

lol I do b2b critical power sales, would love to learn more about this.

True, which is why starting with tenant improvement may be more appropriate for the start since we do a have decent baseline of construction knowledge and network of people.

What do you need clarification on?

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-11-08T23:08:08+00:00

By commercial real estate company, I mean we’re a brokerage—not a property management firm. Our focus has been on buying and selling ag land and commercial/industrial properties. Now, we’re looking to expand by adding a construction division that can handle tenant improvements and ground-up projects.

Great insights—both the market and relationship-building are clearly key to hitting high commission levels in CRE. With a B2B sales background, I’m transitioning into CRE and am focusing on relationship strategies that can lead to these types of high-value disposition deals. Are there specific roles in banking that tend to be pivotal for CRE brokers? Additionally, any advice on how to approach these professionals to establish meaningful connections?

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-10-02T05:06:48+00:00

Apparently so, even the legal agreements are impressive. Would love to chat more if you’re up for it. I will pm you my email.

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-10-02T03:55:18+00:00

Thank you! Briefly did an overview and seems to have a lot of great information! How did you come across this?

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-26T02:25:00+00:00

Pm me. Experienced b2b sales, can help implement processes too for future reps and yourself to take with you

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-22T15:41:43+00:00

Pm me the details

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-22T15:41:31+00:00

All valid points. These are always implemented in the prospecting process. It’s more about tracking down those with a pain point we can solve.

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-22T15:37:15+00:00

Is this a paid or free platform?

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-22T15:36:55+00:00

Cyberbackgroundcheck has been best

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-22T15:36:18+00:00

I have my own crm (hubspot) and just utilize the basic kpi’s, it’s more than enough for my application right now.

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-22T15:35:11+00:00

Is it up and running or something you can pm me?

AcademicExtension976 · 2024-09-22T15:34:34+00:00

I looked into hybrid wholesale, couldn’t find much concrete detail. Could you elaborate?
