its creating some friction with brokers that are representing buyers  Listing agents no change.the commish is becoming a negotiation just like a home inspection..

I live in Chicago and am working on my broker's license currently, hopefully to complete by the end of the year.

While there I met three other architects developing properties in and around Tulum, as well as brokers and land agents, and facility management companies.

Alternatively i could go for being a real estate broker and try to get experience in actual real estate without putting too much of my own skin in the game.

If you're looking for properties that are 50 units or larger, you'll generally do better focusing on broker relationships. 

I was just the RE Broker on the townhouse project had nothing to do with the deal between the investor and the developer ( they had 4 or 5 other deals going at the time) But on this one the Investor sued and he sued ALL of us.. including most of the subs that worked on the project the developers staff  Myself  The guy who put the pilings in for the Peir in the lake the landscapers the janitorial folks I mean everyone..

This put us in a significant disadvantage on selling, buyer has to have 20% down and buyer needs to use a Non QM lender too instead of a standard back or broker...

Meet with brokers and other professionals in different asset classes.
