@Jimmy O'Connor thanks Jim I’ll give him a shout this week.

Hey guys in need of a good go to handy man in Philly and neighboring areas my guys great but always busy. Need some masonry work done, mortar repointing on a house and concrete driveway work. As well as another contact for roofing and drywall.

Thanks!

@Joel Owens Ha that’s true the degrees can come with a sense of entitlement. But I was told the larger firms look for backgrounds in investments, acquisitions, management consulting, analysts, and MBAs help... I just have my Bachelors but am essentially an Analyst so the numbers piece is enticing.

Only barrier to entry being the 9-Year savings then. Thanks for the help.

@Joel Owens Got it thanks. Is this typical of the JLL’s/CBRE’s as well? I know folks may have to start as analysts and get a salary w/ a partial split before becoming producers. Sorry for the 21questions definitely interested.

@Joel Owens Thanks Joel! I understand that part more paper work deals take longer etc. so would take me having to make a full transition. I’ve seen the fruits of my labor on the residential side now going all in any it’s definitely a passion. I think what I’m realizing is I have to leave corporate America to take it to the next level but am wondering am I better served in the long run or career & financially going after commercial? The commitment is there on either side talking walking from a 7-7 analytics driven field to this.

I’ve been a realtor for a bit over a year part-time and have always wanted to get into commercial, but am just starting to hit my stride the rest of the year has really been prospecting trying to find buyers. This month I have 2 listings 1 set to close early next month the other I‘m having cleaned then staged to list. My 3rd deal for the month my clients are closing on next week. Working on marketing as we speak to keep up momentum and building a 30/60/90 plan but really questioning should I go after commercial and will that allow me a steady or partial salary along with the sales & marketing that is my passion.

I’ve been in corporate buying/planning for about 10+ years and would love to walk away just not ready to do that with a family. Also thinking the commissions I’m going to make in residential probably can’t compare to commercial? Goal TY residential is 30-40k part-time take home commission I should be there or just short that’s on 4deals. Thinking if I went full-time my goal for year 2 would be 100k.

Would appreciate any advice on how that stacks up to commercial financially and difficulty of transition and placement especially in the Philly Area.
