New To Commercial Real Estate

[Max Bates]

Hi there!

My name is Max, I'm 20 years old and have recently started working with a commercial real estate agency in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I work closely with one agent in particular who has been involved in CRE for over 20 years and has given me a chance to learn about the business under his wing.

I have been interested in real estate in general since I was 18, however I mainly focused on studying rentals and wholesaling on the residential side of things. Now that I am working directly with commercial real estate, I am discovering there are lots of differences between the 2 and feel a little less confident than I was originally going into the job. Does anyone have any tips or advice about how to pay down the tax of ignorance as quickly as possible to accelerate the learning curve, while also showing my mentor and the agency that it is worth their time and energy to keep me around? I just want to provide as much value as I can so that I can continue to learn.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! And if there are any other fellow Haligonians in the BP forum, I would love to connect!

Thannks!
