285. Emily's First 6 Weeks as a Commercial Real Estate Broker

Key Takeaways:

Emily Benedict's background in corporate America and residential real estate has helped her transition smoothly into commercial real estate. Her expertise in land entitlement and development is a valuable asset.

Finding properties is a key challenge in commercial real estate compared to residential, requiring more networking and proactive outreach rather than relying on an MLS system.

The educational resources and mastermind programs provided by the Cobble Group have been instrumental in accelerating Emily's learning curve and providing her with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed.

Communication and client management are crucial, with Emily emphasizing the importance of keeping clients informed throughout the deal process.

Emily has set ambitious goals for herself, including sending 10 personalized letters per day, making 50 cold calls per month, and closing 10 deals by July 2025 to achieve $5 million in sales volume.

Emily's advice to residential real estate agents considering a move to commercial is to just "do it" and not be afraid, as the skills and knowledge are transferable, and the opportunities are significant.
