In this video, I highlight how to become a commercial real estate agent and what steps you need to take to break into the industry. 🏦

To start, some of the pre-requisites to securing a role as a commercial real estate agent include:

✔ Securing your Real Estate License.
✔ Preferred (not required) - Some College or Bachelors's Degree.
➖ Having a Degree in Business, Finance or a Technical Field is a plus.
✔ A strong interest in business and investments.
✔ Being comfortable with numbers.

Along with these pre-requisites, you should also consider the culture of the brokerages you will be interviewing with. 👩‍🏫

Some of the relevant questions include:

✔ Do you prefer to be in a corporate environment?
✔ Do you function best as part of a team or solo?
✔ Do you prefer to be in the office from 9-5 pm?
✔ How much creative liberty do you want to have?

Also, large brokerage and small (boutique) brokerages have many differences. ⚖

Below I've provided a list of a few:

☑ Big brokerages tend to work on the largest deals (i.e. $100 mm office building, 1,000,000 SF industrial property etc.)

☑ However, you often get a smaller piece of the pie and are usually pigeonholed into a particular property type.

☑ Boutique brokerages don't typically secure the behemoth listings.

☑ However, the commission splits are often lower and you're able to work on deals in multiple property types.

Finally, when you're seeking commercial real estate opportunities, it's important to leverage your network.

Some ideas include:

✅ Tell your friends, family, and acquaintances you’re looking to break into the industry and ask them if they know anyone they could introduce you to.

✅ Attend meetings/meetups where commercial real estate agents congregate (i.e. ICSC, ULI, Exchangers, CCIM, etc.)

✅ Reach out to CRE professionals via LinkedIn and set up a time to speak with them over the phone.

Through this consistent effort, you'll be in the business in no time!
