Multifamily Investment Sales to REGAL?

I've spent the last 4 years on a top institutional multifamily broker team in a tier-2 Southeastern city. I'll spend another year here and will be running the bullpen during my final year.

I'm considering my exit path and trying to decide if spending a few years on a banking team could not only teach me a lot but also provide a valuable boost to my resume that could lead to a top PERE role. I feel confident that my resume, skillset and relationships with my brokers could land me somewhere strong from where I am. So, the question is if I could and should pursue a stint in IB.

I'd be willing to lateral in as an Associate, and understand there'd be a learning curve, but also think the production of decks, work/life balance and deal management/juggling would translate well.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, and as an additional note, I would definitely look to pursue the "RE" rather than "GAL" side of REGAL.

I think without an MBA, would be near impossible to go to a REGAL team. It’s a whole different skill set. They’re advising real estate companies on the actually business as a whole versus just one property or a portfolio of properties. Would definitely not be an associate lateral. I think the MBA path would set you up well given the real estate experience, but without one seems very tough. If your end goal is REPE, then it’s possible without investment banking experience
