Analyst vs. Sales Roles in CRE [Where To Start]

[@BreakIntoCRE]

Are you targeting analyst roles or trying to jump straight into production?

[@Only1Winner729]

What about starting as an Associate at an insurance company? How does that sound?

[@christopherho8015]

I am starting as an analyst at a real estate developer. What advice would you give if I intend to move private equity in a few years time?

[@ericbanks5610]

I’m jumping straight into production doesn’t seem like big companies do that

[@kenji_ignacio]

I'd say knowing your personality and strengths is key to choosing your ideal role. I started in a brokerage role then figured out I'm more analytical so switched to more of the acquisitions side. Find a role that gets you closest to your goals while maximizing your strengths

Landed an analyst position at JLL little under 1 year ago. I saw very little risk with tons of upside and a clear path to production.
1) Having a great mentor at the producer level
2)the stable income with commission upside
3) exposure to the markets largest and most lucrative deals 1st year in industry doubled with great networking opportunities

@Osman Siddiqui my team does+\-4% of gross fee to the analyst (my team targets 250k min fee per transaction).

[@jakeallan7658]

This also varies team to team and market to market… not a JLL decision

@@jakeallan7658what’s the typical analyst salary?

[@claremarie567]

@@jakeallan7658I have been on the residential side (sales) for the past 2.5 years. College grad before that. Is there any advice you’d give to me about trying on the analyst position?

Another path to consider is commercial management with a smaller company. I have my RE license so I get the opportunity for sales/leasing. I also get the hands on aspects of budgets, maintenance, and communication with tenants and owners. From an income standpoint you get a salary with opportunity for commission. Pros and cons, as you also have to wear a variety of hats with the varied responsibilities.

I work as an analyst at M&M with an aspiration to become a broker. In our office it’s common for recent grads to go straight into production without prior CRE experience, but there is a VERY high turnover. Those that decide to stay usually don’t see a paycheck for a year, sometimes ever longer. I don’t recommend going straight into sales without the experience of being an analyst or some sort of support role. That experience will give you more insight on the business. The way that I see it, how can you sell something if you don’t understand what it is?

I really enjoy listening to your videos and insights. Can you please make a video on becoming a real estate valuer / appraiser. Thank you1

[@zacharyelliott6012]

Analyst now; graduated college this month- going straight to producer seems to be nearly unfeasible w/ normal everyday life costs you incur at this age. Also, you are too focused on pushing properties instead of meeting clients needs if you start as a producer.

Hey man, lets connect? if possible. ✊🏽

Mr Kivel adding time stamps on the video, love it

[@superballamy]

I'm hoping to join your academy and take the Analyst route 😜

[@davidroldan6007]
