Big Projects, Bigger Purpose
I was drawn to commercial real estate because I love the challenge and impact of working on larger-scale projects that shape communities and drive economic growth. Within my market, I typically focus on retail, industrial, land and office space, with limited deals in the multifamily realm. I find myself creating my niche with buyers interested in value-added projects. Being a state-licensed general contractor, I can provide high-level estimates on repairs much quicker and more accurately than a typical commercial broker.
Commercial real estate is one of those industries where you never stop learning. I have had the privilege to work with a range of clients, from small mom-and-pop tenants to owners of $250 million portfolios. One of my favorite aspects of this business is the interactions I get to have with all my clients. Each client has a different story on how they started their business, how they marketed their business, and what their business is in general. I plan to continue learning in my industry by simply doing it. The more clients I can interact with, the more I learn about different industries and their requirements regarding real estate.
If I could change one thing about the commercial real estate industry, I would simplify and streamline development and zoning processes. This complexity deters innovation and limits opportunities for community-focused, responsible development. I would also increase the transparency of these processes, so that the public would have more information on both the pros and cons regarding the impacts of responsible development.
