CRE Brokerage to REPE Transition?

Hey everyone, I'm early in my career and interested in applying for a REPE Analyst position in LA in the near future. I'm not dead set on working for Blackstone or a top-tier equivalent - a boutique firm or family office sounds enjoyable but I'm open to any recommendations.

Some background: I graduated from a Top-5 Econ undergrad program in late 2019. In my senior year I was working as an assistant at a local CRE firm ( 5 employees) and was fortunate enough to receive a full-time position as a salesperson before graduation. I have been in this role for ~2 years (now have my CA Brokers license) and have come to really enjoy commercial real estate despite it never being a career that I considered prior (my "plan" was initially something more traditional finance like PE). Further, I just finished a masters program in Quant Econ (non-prestigious state university, 3.7 GPA) - I'm curious how a technical degree like this is perceived in industry compared to an MBA or comparable.

Finally, I have passed my CFA Level II and plan to sit for the third exam by year's end.In terms of experience / hard skills: I have fairly strong Excel modeling skills (completed some REPE-focused online modeling courses) and extensive experience in R, Stata, and Argus. Obviously I don't have the same hands-on experience that a REPE Analyst would, but I think between my familiarity with CRE lease and sale deals in addition to being familiar with industry software I should be able to keep up with the learning curve at a REPE firm. With all of this said, do you think I am a decent fit for REPE? I'm not in a rush to change jobs but it seems like if I want to make the transition now is the time to do so. I'm happy to answer any questions or points of clarification that people may have.
