Stephanie Gilezan and Cari Briner commercial real estate training: why the network exists

After Stephanie joined eXp, residential agents learned that she practiced commercial across most states. They sent more referrals than one person could handle. That became a team, and then this network.

Commercial is underserved. Residential agents are sitting on commercial opportunities, and most were never taught how to work them or who to refer them to. The network brings the training, deal conversations, and relationships into one room.

Members come from brokerages across the country. Your license does not have to hang at eXp to join. The work is learning to recognize an opportunity, understand the transaction, and connect with people who can help you serve the client.

CRE Dealmakers Network

Commercial real estate rewards the people in the room. Get in the room.
