The Texas based offices are very strong across all asset classes. Really any HFF legacy office should be good. You’re gonna get crushed and probably be underpaid but it should open up a lot of opportunities.
Industrial: West Coast, ATL, Miami
Retail: West Coast, TX, ATL, NE
Not sure on other buckets
Stay away from Atlanta Multifamily. Used to be a great team, but everyone good left for Newmark a few years ago.
I’m ex JLL. Depending on asset class, I’d personally go LA, SF, OC.
OC guys were always great, have also had good experiences with the Denver team.
Think its generally in the top 3 brokerages in most major metros.
NYC debt team I think has the highest volume in JLL nationwide but runs very lean. Hours I hear are brutal. Quite a few rainmaker producers there.
Chicago sales is pretty good too
I believe it’s Dallas followed by NYC and then Chicago but may be wrong
Don’t fuck with DY. I will show this to him and he will smoke you.
Portland is gain to lease but you can buy a deal for quality deal $200k a door. It’s long term money. Politics is fucked! PNW is Seattle and maybe Vancouver is a really “bad” day. Portland sucks. Even property managers bitch when you ask about how to fix assets when you are asking about market intel. Also nike has layoffs. Unique buyer and calpers told groups not to buy in that market. Going to be ugly for a while. #ripportandlibs
If you don’t know DY, you must be a junior guy or too focused on being an analyst. Ask any director level person in the PNW and they will tell you who DY is. Big swinging D not to be fucked with.
Dude you talking like this is not a good look. And any broker / banker / etc “not to be fucked with” is a salesman just as the next, regardless of his transaction volume.
David Yurman?
Who cares! Strongest team means your odds of being a broker are lower. Find a small team with leaders in their late 20s, 30s or early 40s. Joining a large team with big swinging dicks means you have to navigate a lot of politics unless you have a direct relationship to the top gun on the team or you have connections that brings revenue to the team, and they know if they don’t make you a producer they will lose that business. If you are a super star analyst, I don’t want you leaving my team to become a producer and compete with me! If your end goal is to go to buy side, different story. Join the biggest team, do your 2-3 year jam and use that to pivot at the right time to a large REPE or developer. If you want to do acquisitions, go investment sales. If you want to raise money for a developer, to capital markets and build relationships with family offices and guarantors. Best deal guys I know come from debt capital markets to principal side. They crush!!
Do people still hire from JLL/Brokerages? Or are they looking for IB analyst experience now instead? I’ve seen that around the forum and in a few interviews.
I have been anticipating starting over and going to analyst route at JLL or an IB to get at an actually good acquisition shop. I’ve done 2 yrs Acq at this point but not at any extremely notable shops and I also skipped the analyst route and just was a brokerage associate for 1 yr at an NAI/M&M.
Would you go back and start over at a JLL for opps at an Apollo, RXR, KSL, Blackstone etc? I feel like it’d be tough to start over on that small analyst salary.
Could have, would have, should have. Did you go to the right school to get interviews at Apollo? If not, did you get a super high gpa or SAT to be considered? If not, did you join the right fraternity to get connected to the brokerages? If not, do you have connections to get access to leadership or resume drop? If not you might be at NAI. If not, are you emailing alums or employers on LinkedIn or networking? Did you take ACRE or some other courses that place people at those firms? You own your own trajectory or make weird jumps to get what you want! It’s all a decision tree and luck along the way if you didn’t go to the right school or have connections.
