Find a Mentor

How do you decide which firm to affiliate with when you have a choice?

Look at growth opportunities? Yes.  Look at location of office?  Yes.  Look at training programs?  Yes.  Look at clients served?  Yes.  Look at market share and position?  Yes. Look at national affiliations?  Yes.   Look for a mentor?  YES!! 

Having a cheerleader/mentor in your corner can make the difference between success and mediocrity.   It can put you years ahead in your career.  Think of a good mentor as a custom one on one training program.  Specific answers to YOUR specific questions.  Getting "heads ups" that you would not get or notice in a standard training program.  Having your behind kicked when needed....  Having someone look out for you....  Wow!

So, if someone who is successful in commercial real estate is willing to be your mentor, with other things being somewhat equal, my suggestion is to start there.
