Episode Highlight:
00:30 - I knew I wanted to be in commercial real estate, and there are two paths there on the transaction side. One is you can become a leasing broker where you represent either the tenant or the landlord, and negotiating leases and that sort of stuff. The other one is being an investment broker. And I said, "I'm going to be an investment broker." I'm committed to doing that and just made a lot of calls. I was a little lucky. One of the largest brokerage firms in the nation was expanding into Chicago at that time. I interviewed with them, and they hired me, and I learned a ton from that experience. In fact, anyone that's interested in getting into commercial real estate, I highly recommend, if you can get it, start out as an investment broker.
