Hello, I'm a rising senior trying to network into a top brokerage / investment sales team (JLL, CBRE, CW etc). I'm flexible about where I work but preferably it would be in the northeast. My question is, how can I know what offices I should be networking with? How do I figure out what teams will be a good experience to work for and who will be a waste of time?

Network. When chatting with local professionals ask which teams are good. Also if you are thinking about a specific market you can post on here and chances are a few people will have opinions.
Co star used to publish a "power broker" award for top brokers in various asset classes through all major US markets. Not sure if they still do.
This was perfect, and I got a call with a director already, nice tip man thanks
Great to hear it!
Traded, in New York, LA, Miami and a few other places. Research his name and you'll see publications. Honestly at those shops you'll get good training and the team will at least be decent, I'm saying that coming from not one of those shops and didn't do the best research and deal flow was shit. But also part of it is up to you so that's a good thing as well.
As simple as it sounds research the public information, check out the CBRE/JLL listings in the area you're interested and see who the brokers are. Generally they'll advertise if they're a top broker/producer in their bio. They'll be the toughest to get in touch with but the most valuable.
