Tough Economy Could Prompt Commercial Brokers to Make a Move

September 13, 2011 

In a recent article, “Commercial Brokers Shifting Alliances in a Tough Economy”, featured in The San Diego Daily Transcript on September  5, 2011, Vince Provenzano, Director of Brokerage Services of Pacific Coast Commercial, was approached for an interview regarding his thoughts on the topic of brokers moving from company to company in the commercial real estate industry.   

Provenzano said, “The reason for my move was that Pacific Coast Commercial has given me the autonomy that I hadn’t enjoyed at my previous firm. The ability to direct the brokerage and sales staff in a pro-active atmosphere is one of the main reasons I chose PCC. We want to allow our associates to flourish within their talents, not those imposed by a structured and restrictive work environment”.  

“Additionally, we have created a menu of compensation guidelines that each associate will have the opportunity to choose from, which isn’t usually an option at the larger firms,” sites Provenzano.   

Provenzano said there is no clear answer as to whether there are more commercial real estate brokers moving around than a few years ago.  

“In some situations, the brokers want to stay put because they don’t want to take chances with their existing clients.  In others, they may want to move because of the fees their current company may beginning to charge,” Provenzano said, adding that still others are leaving the business altogether. 

The times may be tough, but Provenzano said he is only too happy to mentor brokers who have the tenacity to face difficulties head on and who want to make a lifelong career in the commercial sales and leasing industry. 

If you are interested in pursuing a career in Commercial Sales, Property Management, or Leasing, Pacific Coast Commercial is the Right Choice.
