If you are a multifamily real estate investor with an active real estate license that was sent a listing by a listing broker, DON'T try to share in that listing broker's commission if you want to see more future listings.

Remember, the multifamily investment world is a hyper competitive environment with hundreds of investors competing against each other for a small number of investments for sale. Real estate agents are responsible for over 90% of all multifamily real estate sales in many markets. If a listing broker sends a buyer a new listing, and that buyer turns in an offer that includes them wanting a portion of that listing broker's commission just because they hold a real estate license, than that listing broker will be dis-incentivized to share any future listings with that buyer.
