A Conversation
About Your Future
What if everything
you've spent years building
worked for you
instead of you working for it?
At your current firm:
You compete against your own team
You keep only ~60%
Your brand is their brand
Rules can change at any time
Sound familiar?
WHY PRODUCERS LEAVE LARGE FIRMS
They don't leave for ego. They leave for:
Immediate economic upside
Control over recruiting
Faster decision making
Better group alignment
Real ownership upside
Less internal competition
WE KNOW — BECAUSE
We were you.
In 2009, our founders left a big firm like yours.
They asked the same question you're asking.
"Do I really need a big firm?"
No.
All of our clients followed us.
Our earnings only went up from there.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Partners
not employees

The Reunion
The principals of Fortis left Marcus in 2009 and said goodbye to Steve and a large corporate ceiling.
17 years later, we've reunited to create something new — designed by brokers, for brokers, built on an existing, successful foundation.
What you keep:
Your clients
Your reputation
Your pipeline
Your earning power
What you leave? The overhead, the politics, someone else's brand.
Six specialized divisions.
We're looking for leaders
to fill five of them.
At big firms, you share a vertical. At FCS, you own it.
THE STRUCTURE
Your name. Your team. Your P&L.
This isn't a lateral move — it's a founding position.
THE COMPENSATION CONVERSATION

TYPICAL FIRM

On $2M GCI, the difference is:

NATIONAL FIRM

FCS

more cash. every year.
At your current firm → commission.
At FCS → equity.
Equity in a buyout event
Team building = faster tiers
No cap. No ceiling.
"What if my clients don't follow?"
All of our clients came with us
when we left way back in 2009.
Clients hire people, not logos.
Most congratulated us for making the move.
"What if it doesn't work out?"
Your skills go with you.
Your relationships go with you.
The risk of staying
is greater than the risk of moving.
Every broker who ever made a leap
had the same knot in their stomach you have right now.
Those that took the leap, rarely have regretted it.
We're not reinventing commercial real estate.
The business hasn't changed in decades — and it doesn't need to.
What should change is who benefits the most from the work you're already doing.
The moment you stop settling for what's comfortable
is the moment everything changes.
