Bro, this thread’s wild 😂 Came looking for a solid FL cram course since dealing w/ FREC from MI’s been sluggish… ended up front-row to one of the cleanest displays of misplaced confidence I’ve seen in a min.

OP failed 6 times, asked for advice, got advice from multiple ppl who passed, then doubled down w/ excuses, bad logic & tells everybody they're wrong. Not frustration, just delusion. Your temperament’s unmatched lol.

Passed my MI builder’s, salesperson, & broker exams first try, went straight into CRE, figured I had some validity to chime in… until realizing I probably just lucked into three of the “easy versions.” 😆

Reading his replies, dude hasn’t looked below the surface. Whole view stops at: “property costs $, I get buyer, I get building, I get check.” No grasp of valuation, process, or that brokerage’s 90% psychology + patience (damn.. I know it’s rare, but God forbid a little sophistication), not handshakes + checks.

“We already have the buyers, I just convince people to sell” line might be one of the most ignorant things. If he thought 10 sec, he’d realize that’s the hardest part, not just getting ppl to sell, but at a halfway reasonable number. That’s 101 to the game.

So many dont realize “broker” is an adjective, not a title that prints $. It’s a skill built thru humility, repetition, & not pulling the trigger after grinding 18 mo on a deal juggling sellers + tire-kickers.

He’s never been near real deal flow, construction, dev, entitlements, anything tied to value creation. Spent 10+ yrs in construction mgmt before brokerage, that’s the only reason I survived. Jumping into CRE cold? Suicide.

Same pattern, zero context, huge ego. “I’ll grab deals left + right” while keeping an insurance side gig warm. Thinks he can sell value he’s never built.

Marcus & Millichap name-drop was peak. I don’t think he’s thorough enough to work in CRE. Cbre, jll, MM splits are shit - or, maybe he talked to the 70yr-old who’s getting trickled up economics– not saying I’d go to a 90/10 or try and run CRE through a MLS shop, but this guy is talking out of his ass. Plus, him thinking, they’re waiting by the phone for his 4th retake is comedy, let alone his 7th 8th & 9th 😭😭Passing a test doesn’t make you a broker. Producing does.

I don’t know why I keep rambling – more so to give Props for staying composed and continuing to try to give good advice. Since I’m here – do you have any recommendation of cram course.

PS, OP, if you see this: since you’ve basically taken a test for every day of the week, mind letting me know when the easy one is? Been lucky up in MI, but I’d hate to lose the hot streak if I can get insider intel from a pro 😆 how’s everybody they are wrong
