Commercial real estate agents: professional door unlockers? Commission collectors? People who magically know every property and every deal in town?
Not exactly.
On today’s episode of In the CRE Vault with Mike and Marc, we’re busting the biggest myths about CRE brokers and commercial real estate firms. From the idea that “anyone can do it” to the classic “property management is just collecting rent,” Mike and Marc break down what actually happens behind the scenes: problem-solving, research, unpaid legwork, post-closing follow-up, local market knowledge, and yes, occasionally unlocking a door.
We also tackle company myths, including whether all firms are the same, whether small deals matter, and how a national platform can still be deeply local.
Spoiler: the hourly wage is sometimes sad, the work does not stop at signing, and small business deals matter a lot.
