Car salesmen do amazingly well in the RE industry - we know how to hustle and survive off commission only... we don’t close, we don’t eat! 

@Cory Stidha When I was first trying to get my foot in the door of the real estate industry, I found using LinkedIn as one of the best tools out there to network with real estate professionals that opened many doors for me.

I believe being on the sell side and even the buy side, in many industries not just real estate, is going to go through some major changes in the near future.

I am excited to share my knowledge of the industry as well as bounce ideas of other players here at BP.

Not to mention the oil and Gas is so volatile (I’m an engineer in the industry) that you really can’t rely on that (for long term rentals). 

Millions of users across the world- It's the industry standard. 

Have access to Newmark Grubb data but this is focused on industrial / commercial properties. 

one thing I've learned is the cheapest price in construction industry is the going out of business rate. 

Knowledge is power when it comes to this industry. 

I am currently a cook in a restaurant and have been in the food and beverage industry for the bulk of my knowledge and experience.
