San Francisco or Sacramento commercial real estate broker position?
Jul 27, 2008 by masterdeviance | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I am wondering whether it would be best to take a commercial real estate broker position in Sacramento or San Francisco? Which market do you think will provide the most opportunities in the long-run? The positions are at the same firm, by the way.

Sacramento is really hurting financially right now.
I live in northern California and know both areas well.
P. S. Below, is the latest reason why you should NOT do business in Sacramento!
