Really looking forward to the opinions. This is a subject that gets bashed a lot and I'm curious to see the thoughts from both sides.

I believe the word "co-brokering" itself inhibits the person of having control and that leads to the first issue. Control over deals hits a personal button which leads to aggravation. We are so used to seeing others get burned or have been burned that we are quick to attack the person/company who is helping with the servicing and deal placement.

The lack of understanding of how to originate properly, qualify, and knowing how to "handle" the deal makes it hard to work with people. Those who have done right in this industry for YEARS come across these people and try to help but one slandered post or negative experience leads to everyone following a wave of opinions.

So whether you are one to co broker or one to accept deals from brokers- I would definitely listen and open your mind to learning how to be better and how it really works.
