You should interview loan officer asking the appropriate experience questions, also ask how recently they have done these loans.

Looking for input from agents, new and old, for what is important to you when interviewing potential brokers.

I have interviewed Lamacchia, Berkshire, KW so far, Lamacchia seems to have great trainings but their fees are high, same with Berkshire and heard that KW has higher fees too even though they have higher splits.Any help would be appreciated?

It seems like they have a stringent interview process.

I interviewed a guest on my podcast recently who said he is no longer investing in large multifamily right now. 

I'm looking to sell my 21 unit apartment building in Edmonton AB and wanted to see if there was a broker or agent that someone here would recommend (in Edmonton Alberta).I have interviewed the big shops, AY, CB, JLL etc (I have worked at many of them) and I don't believe they are the right person for the job. 

, you can call a few of these in your area and simply ask to speak with their newest agents, then their agents that work most with investors, and often the managing broker would be helpful too.Here's the 'why'- new agents will have their State and National exam fresh in their minds and be able to answer question you've got there about the exams, and it's great to have some fellow 'newbies' that are hungry and ready to be really helpful (if you join one of these brokerages, you know you've already got friends to help with open houses too in a lot of cases)In speaking with agents that work more with investors, you'll kind of be able to 'interview' them and just ask what works well/tips/advice for how they make their transactions as smooth as possible.

But once you’ve got the muscle of interviewing down, it’s a lot of fun as well!

Regardless of the type of deal, I would recommend interviewing at least 3-4 brokers and speaking with other CRE professionals for referrals to the best in your area. 

@Sharonda FrazierYou can assemble a team before or after you find a property, but which option gives you more time to interview multiple vendors to be able to learn and select the best one?
