What if brokers were calling you with storage deals before they even hit the market? The truth is, the best opportunities rarely get blasted out to everyone. Instead, they're quietly offered to a short list of trusted buyers. If you're not on that list, you're already too late. In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo continues his four-part series on building powerful broker relationships. He reveals the exact steps he used to land on one broker's shortlist of qualified buyers, a relationship that led to an off-market storage facility deal you'll never find on LoopNet. You'll hear how brokers actually source deals, what they look for in buyers, and the follow-up strategies that keep you top of mind. Whether you're brand new or already in the game, this episode gives you the roadmap to becoming the kind of investor brokers call first. You'll Learn How To: Get on a broker's shortlist of serious buyers Build lasting, genuine relationships that lead to repeat deals Avoid rookie mistakes that quietly get you blacklisted Communicate your buy box with confidence and clarity Prove credibility even if you've never closed a storage deal Follow up the right way without becoming a pest What You'll Learn in This Episode: (00:00) Why you can absolutely do this if you stay consistent (02:00) How the best storage deals never reach the open market (03:00) The secret to building credibility brokers can trust (05:00) How one relationship led to two off-market storage deals (09:00) Why following up and being genuine opens doors (11:00) The reason quick responses keep you on a broker's shortlist (12:00) Why confidence and professionalism matter more than experience (14:00) How closing one deal accelerates your path to ten (16:00) How to clearly define and share your buy box (18:00) The long game: why trust takes time but pays off Who This Episode Is For: New investors who want to break into storage without competing with dozens of buyers Operators who are tired of seeing deals only after they've been shopped around Anyone who wants to earn brokers' trust and move from “tire kicker” to trusted buyer Why You Should Listen: The storage industry is smaller than you think, and your reputation with brokers determines whether you get first dibs or leftovers.

In this episode of The Lifestyle Practice Podcast, Dr. Derek Williams breaks down exactly how he sold his dental practice without a broker—what he did, why he did it, and what he'd change. Derek covers building a bank-ready prospectus (financials, KPIs, payer mix), where and how he marketed the listing (FB groups, classifieds, ADA Marketplace), keeping anonymity (NDAs, separate email), and running negotiations when you're representing yourself. He also compares private-dentist buyers vs. DSOs, talks timing (why not being in a rush matters), transition terms, real estate flexibility, and the role of a flat-fee attorney. Whether you're considering a DIY sale or debating a broker, you'll leave with a clear framework and practical next steps.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Steve Haddadin discuss:The importance of cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset in professional growthBuilding and maintaining strong client relationships through communication and transparencyManaging and mitigating risk while pursuing opportunitiesLeveraging marketing tools and personal branding for visibility and credibility Key Takeaways:Being proactive is essential because waiting for the “perfect time” to act often delays progress and causes missed opportunities, while those who start early gain momentum and reach their goals faster.Creating and maintaining accessible online profiles across LinkedIn and legal directories allows professionals to be easily found, build credibility, and attract clients who would otherwise never discover them.Providing excellent client care requires consistently clear communication, setting realistic expectations, and educating clients so that they not only feel informed during the process but also appreciate the value of your work.Instead of trying to eliminate risk, professionals should identify potential risks, apply mitigation strategies, and continuously monitor and refine their approach so they can confidently move forward rather than remain stuck.

It's about finding out what you can do in the marketplace that's different than others." — Steve Haddadin Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.

Handing off leasing to a third party? Don't let them sabotage your NOI.In this episode of I Own a Shopping Center. Now What?, I walk you through my go-to process for selecting and managing third-party leasing brokers—especially if retail isn't your specialty. After a recent call with multifamily investors entering the mixed-use world, I laid out the exact steps I take to make sure brokers are vetted, expectations are clear, and accountability is non-negotiable.From requiring them to tour comps, to demanding weekly activity reports, to firing (gracefully) when they underperform, I share the playbook that protects your asset and keeps leasing on track. If you're new to ground-floor retail—or you've had brokers ghost you in the past—this episode gives you the checklist you didn't even know you needed.
Welcome to the first episode of “How I Met My Broker”, a podcast that explores property investment strategies, shares investor journeys, offers tactical insights, and provides lessons to build wealth through smart leverage. In this first episode, Hung Chuy, director of Strategic Brokers, and Tuan Duong, founder of Duo Tax, share their journey from modest beginnings to building substantial property portfolios, offering lessons for investors. Their two-decade-long friendship has been key to their success, showing the value of strong personal and professional relationships. Tuan began investing with a small Sydney property using the first home buyer's grant, demonstrating the importance of seizing opportunities despite limited resources. They emphasise learning from setbacks, conducting thorough market research, pivoting strategies when needed, and staying informed about government incentives that impact property prices. The duo urges investors to establish a trusted support network and engage in honest conversations with brokers to achieve success.
This week on The Art of SBA Lending, we're getting a unique look at the state of the SBA marketplace from the perspective of the loan broker. Host Ray Drew brings together a panel of top-producing SBA loan brokers whose combined volume would rank them among the top 1 or 2% of all SBA shops. Joining the conversation are Matthias Smith from Pioneer Capital Advisory, Jerry Freedman from Freedom Business Financing, and Zach Renta from SBA Loan HQ. The panel discusses why the traditional BDO model is becoming outdated as brokers build sophisticated operations and gain direct access to information and lenders. They reveal which lenders are winning and losing in today's competitive landscape, and why the old way of doing business — relying on personal relationships over product competitiveness — is no longer enough to succeed. The conversation gets candid as the brokers air their biggest pet peeves about working with lenders, from slow response times to a lack of respect for the work they put into a deal.

This week's show is devoted to two listener questions. The first asks what the Void fears, in reference to a line from our old pal Ve'nari who asserts that she knows what it is -- but doesn't let us in on the secret. Can Matt and Joe unravel the mystery posed by our Broker friend? They go down some twisting paths to discuss their way to the answer, including a lot of discussion of all the elves on Azeroth. Then, more Midnight discussion that goes into what we may see from magic (in a broad sense) as we go forward even further to The Last Titan.Matt and Joe are firmly anti the suggestion that perhaps we could move Zereth Mortis the same way as the Kirin Tor have been tooling around in Dalaran. They're pretty sure something about it is load bearing, but there isn't even OSHA on Azeroth, and if you know a guy willing to take a few risks... well, maybe there's a reason Brann is getting replaced?If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!

On this week's episode of Best Ever CRE Show, John Casmon interviews fellow Best Ever host, Ash Patel. Ash breaks down why he shifted from multifamily to non-residential CRE, citing shrinking returns, intense competition and far greater room for creativity in retail, office, industrial and mixed-use. He shares case studies including a Louisville office portfolio bought for pennies on the dollar with a split-and-sell strategy, and an 80,000-square-foot Canton office deal that breaks even with one floor leased.

In this inspiring episode, Eric Thompson welcomes Martin “Marty” Gallant, the Managing Partner and Broker at Creativ Realty in Moncton, New Brunswick. Marty shares the incredible story of how his company achieved a remarkable 72% growth in volume and nearly doubled its agent count from 25 to 42 in just two years, all within a smaller market of under 600 agents. Marty attributes this rapid success to a strong focus on company culture, which prioritizes agent well-being, teamwork over competition, and comprehensive, open-to-all training. He details their innovative "Mission Momentum" program, a gamified internal challenge that significantly boosts agent engagement and productivity. Beyond brokerage-wide initiatives, Marty also reveals his personal strategy for managing a thriving real estate business while overseeing a growing company: niching down his personal sphere to a "VIP list" of 72 key clients for highly focused, impactful service. This is one episode that is absolutely packed with actionable insights for any real estate professional looking to foster growth and increase efficiency. Episode Highlights: Marty's company saw 72% growth and doubled its agent count (25 to 42) in a small market over two years. Success is built on a strong culture of teamwork and comprehensive, open training for all. "Mission Momentum," a gamified internal challenge with weekly behavior-based missions, drove 85% agent engagement. Creativ Realty offers a free, 21-module training program, open to the entire market, reflecting a "Go-Giver" philosophy. Marty manages his personal business by focusing on a VIP list of 72 clients, providing highly dedicated service. This niche strategy, inspired by the "magic wand" question, enhances efficiency, reduces stress, and maintains volume. Key Takeaways: "We want to make it the best place possible for agents to work." "Everyone's one degree of separation away from each other. So those personal relationships go a lot further." "Culture was always number one." "If they do the behaviors - and it's very much a Ninja Nine - it will lead to results." "Letting yourself down is one thing, but letting down your team is a totally different thing." "The way to do it is to get teams of people focused on activities that will then lead to the results that you want." "If you could wave your magic wand, what would it look like? And then just start yourself on a path to do that."

Bryan Furze is buzzing with insights. In this episode of Retail Retold, Chris Ressa and Bryan, Senior Vice President at Charter Realty, talk about his bold move from landlord to broker after 25 years in retail real estate. Brian shares how his career has taken him from leading portfolios at major landlords to now building Charter's Northern New England business, giving him a unique perspective on both sides of the deal. Together, Chris and Brian break down why retail real estate isn't oversupplied but rather “under demolished,” how construction costs are reshaping small-shop leasing, and why secondary markets like New Hampshire and Maine are becoming hotbeds of growth. Brian also tells the story of a high-stakes Boston acquisition that tested his team but ultimately transformed a neighborhood. Plus, the conversation touches on sustainability, pollinator-friendly practices, and the personal side of balancing career, family, and passion projects.
