The financial investment and the training time that is required to secure a commercial realtors license, enabling you to start a real-estate brokerage that specializes in listing and selling businesses and commercial investment properties, will be well worth the effort. It is a very common thing for business brokers to earn $200,000 plus, per/year, after expenses.

What you need to do, is consider specializing in a particular kind of business sale, such as retail, manufacturing and the marketing businesses. Specialization in the commercial real estate industry, is the fastest way to become an industry leader and gain valuable customers. Market the listings, using the internet, trade publications and a wide network of contact in the industry you choose.
