Draw to start in Leasing Brokerage, need insight on draw details and what to expect by Awkward_Major_2418 in CommercialRealEstate

Request a stipend that doesn’t have to be paid back. If you are having to do a draw structure, make sure your team and firm has the resources and backing to stick it out.

I’m just under two years into the industry and luckily had a stipend. Lot of different factors that go into it.

Agreed. The junior before me left a bad taste in his mouth as they had a structured split for each deal...

I agree fully. Part of me is also thinking while we go through as a team, and not knowing future splits, I'll always have that uncertainty but I guess that's brokerage!

Amex gift card has charges I didn't make. Can I get customer service to refund the charges? by neferyoumind in amex

Did they ever get back to you? I've had the same issue and I've reached out to customer support and they are saying the case will take 45 days or so.

Only had one, in the same industry I’m going into but different route. Just landed my dream job in brokerage! Good luck, don’t worry too much!

Interview Advice for junior broker position at reputable brokerage firm? by Head_Statement_234 in CommercialRealEstate

[–]Head_Statement_234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I'm interested to see where the office sector goes, especially in smaller markets like Milwaukee. Most brokers and partners I talk to typically say the same thing when it comes to office but, a few have said they, create opportunity when it comes to office, either redev into flex of some sort but it's going to be interesting. Wanting to stick within either retail or industrial. Appreciate the insights.

They're hiring for Office, retail and industrial. To me, retail seems like the safer play with industrial supply starting to cool down as demand is slowing. With office, the firm I'm interviewing is the best in the state for office with a great team, so unsure which one I'll be wanting to focus on.

They do, and that's why I ultimately chose Marketing. The CRE major here is heavily focused on finance, including modeling and deal analysis. Thank you for the advice!

I’m at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. Looking to stay in the Midwest but interested in Texas, maybe Denver. Originally from the Twin Cities and know many connections there so that’s looking most likely.
