Hey, commercial real estate brokers? Keep your compensation a secret, even from your own clients. They don’t know how much you make, they’re too dumb to figure it out, and if you don’t bring it up they won’t think about it. NOW, REALLY!
In most commercial real estate leasing transactions, commercial brokers representing tenants receive their compensation in the form of commissions paid by landlords. Yep, that sure sounds like a conflict-of-interest to me! But, unfortunately, that’s the way the industry works.
