New SIOR Mentorship Program!

There is a new program for the Houston Chapter of SIOR designed to encourage development of new talent within our industry. As an improvement to the highly successful Candidate program, the SIOR Mentorship Program will be available to those persons who have a minimum of 1 year of commissioned experience in Commercial Real Estate. Those who wish to become involved will be required to obtain recommendation letters from at least 2 active SIORs, pay a reduced membership fee as well as complete certain education requirements during the process. In addition, each new broker will be paired with an active SIOR from an outside firm who will act as a mentor and advisor to the prospective SIOR.

To learn more about this exciting new opportunity please contact the SIOR Membership Chair:
