The reality is...

Agents who sell investment properties average more than 3x the income of residential agents.

Investors who are closing multi-million dollar deals insist on working with skilled advisors who are trained in Real Estate Finance and Investments.

But outside of the national firms, quality training in real estate finance and investments is difficult to find.

Many new agents & brokers pay HALF of their commissions in the first 1-2 years to a senior broker for commercial real estate mentorship. But mentors are often unable to deliver because it detracts from their core business of closing deals.

Agents and brokers without proper training often struggle to get investment listings and clients, and many end up frustrated and leaving the industry within 1-2 years.

That's where we come in. Start on The Broker Success Path today.
