On November 14th, in the context of legal history, the story of Ruby Bridges stands out as a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, particularly in the desegregation of American schools. Born on September 8, 1954, in Tylertown, Mississippi, Ruby Bridges became a symbol of the civil rights movement on November 14, 1960, when she became the first African American child to integrate an all-white elementary school in the South, specifically William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana.At the tender age of six, Bridges' entry into the school was not just a simple walk through its doors. Escorted by federal marshals amidst a hostile crowd, her brave step was a significant action following the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students unconstitutional.Bridges' integration of the school was the result of hard-won legal battles led by the NAACP, which sought to enforce the Supreme Court's decision. Her courage became a national symbol of the struggle to end segregation, challenging the status quo and societal norms of the time.Despite facing daily harassment and isolation (she was the only student in her class as others were pulled out by their parents), Ruby's perseverance was remarkable. Her teacher, Barbara Henry, from Boston, was the only one willing to teach her, and together they spent a year in a classroom, just the two of them.Her story highlights not only the legal struggles associated with civil rights but also the human element within these battles. The image of young Ruby, depicted in Norman Rockwell's painting "The Problem We All Live With," has become an iconic symbol of the civil rights movement.Ruby's journey was not just a legal milestone but also a deeply personal story of courage and resilience. It underscored the power of law to bring about social change and challenged Americans to confront their prejudices and work towards a more equitable society.In later years, Ruby Bridges has continued to be an active voice in the civil rights movement. She established the Ruby Bridges Foundation in 1999, promoting the values of tolerance, respect, and appreciation of all differences.On November 14th, we remember not just a legal victory in the annals of American history, but also the extraordinary courage of a little girl who stood up against racial segregation and in doing so, helped to change the course of history. Her legacy serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial equality and the importance of education in shaping a more just society.The U.S. Supreme Court has adopted its first-ever code of conduct in response to recent ethics controversies involving its justices. The code primarily consolidates existing principles and doesn't significantly change how the justices operate. It lacks a public complaint system or external review for alleged violations, aiming instead to clear up misconceptions about the justices being exempt from ethical rules. The move follows reports of Justice Clarence Thomas receiving extravagant gifts from a Republican megadonor, raising questions about the court's impartiality.Critics, like Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, have welcomed the step but point out the need for enforceable mechanisms to ensure compliance. The new code incorporates some rules from the Judicial Conference, like broader disclosure requirements for private plane flights and commercial property lodging, but stops short of a complaint system like that for lower federal judges.Chief Justice John Roberts has directed a review of best practices, but no concrete enforcement process or timeline has been established. All nine justices, including Thomas, who has faced intense scrutiny for his financial dealings and conduct related to the 2020 election, have signed the new code. The court's decision reflects ongoing discussions among the justices, with some expressing support for the initiative in recent months.Supreme Court Adopts Code of Conduct Amid Ethics Revelations (2)Under fire, US Supreme Court unveils ethics code for justices | ReutersU.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump of trying to create a "carnival atmosphere" at his trial over charges related to the 2020 election defeat. Smith argues that televising the trial, as Trump supports, would lead to distractions from the charges and a public relations campaign. This accusation follows Trump's behavior during a recent civil fraud case in New York, where he often evaded direct answers and made political statements. Trump's lawyers claim that not broadcasting the trial is part of a politically motivated effort by the Biden administration. Prosecutors oppose televising the trial, citing a longstanding rule against broadcasting criminal cases in federal court. Trump, facing four criminal prosecutions, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including conspiring to illegally subvert the 2020 election results.Special counsel says Trump seeking 'carnival atmosphere' at 2020 election trial | ReutersThe Texas law firm Jackson Walker claims it was misled by former partner Elizabeth Freeman about her relationship with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David Jones, who handled cases for the firm. Freeman had initially assured the firm that her relationship with Jones had ended, but it was later revealed they had been living together. This conflict of interest led to Jones' resignation in October after it became public. The U.S. Trustee is now seeking the return of millions of dollars Jackson Walker earned in cases presided over by Jones. The firm, however, did not disclose the relationship even after learning of it in March 2021, violating bankruptcy rules that require extensive disclosures of connections. Jackson Walker's lack of standard checks for relationships between its staff and judges has raised questions about the integrity of the bankruptcy system, with the U.S. Trustee arguing that the undisclosed relationship compromised the fairness of all cases involving the firm and Judge Jones. The situation further escalated when Freeman, after leaving Jackson Walker to start her own practice, was appointed by Jones to a lucrative position in a mediation case, without disclosing their relationship.Law firm tied to bankruptcy judge resignation says former partner lied | ReutersA lawsuit filed in Manhattan accuses the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) and over two dozen brokerages, including the Corcoran Group and Douglas Elliman, of conspiring to artificially inflate real estate agents' commissions in Manhattan residential sales. This follows a recent Missouri federal jury verdict awarding $1.78 billion in a similar case against the National Association of Realtors, which could potentially be tripled. The lawsuit claims that commissions in Manhattan remain at a stable 5% to 6%, despite soaring home prices, contrasting with more competitive markets like Brooklyn where commissions are lower and negotiated separately. The plaintiff, Monty March, argues that REBNY's listing service unfairly requires sellers to pay high commissions to buyers' brokers, citing his own experience of selling an Upper East Side apartment with inflated commissions. REBNY plans to change its rules from January 1, requiring sellers to directly pay commissions to buyers' brokers, aiming for more transparency. However, March questions if this will actually lead to lower commissions or create delays in sales negotiations. The lawsuit seeks damages for sellers who paid buyer brokers' commissions under REBNY rules in the last four years.Manhattan real estate brokerages are sued for inflating commissions | ReutersAmazon is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging that it engaged in an "illegal internet gambling enterprise" by distributing casino-style apps and processing payments for virtual chips. The suit, filed by a Nevada resident who claims addiction to these online slot games, accuses Amazon of partnering with virtual casinos to offer over 30 illegal casino apps. This follows a 2018 U.S. appeals court ruling that deemed "social casino" apps illegal under Washington state law. The lawsuit alleges that Amazon, by offering these apps, effectively brought slot machines into consumers' homes continuously. Amazon has not yet responded to the lawsuit.Edelson, the law firm representing the plaintiff, is experienced in such litigation, having secured substantial settlements in related cases. The firm's Todd Logan, leading the gambling practice, expressed eagerness to bring the case before a jury. The games in question are free to play, offering virtual chips instead of cash payouts, but require users to purchase more chips to continue playing. The lawsuit contends that Amazon is aware of the illegality of these social casinos yet maintains a 30% financial interest in them. The plaintiff's lawyers estimate the class size to be tens of thousands, seeking damages and restitution. This case adds to ongoing legal challenges against tech giants like Apple, Meta, and Google over their roles in processing payments for social casino apps.Amazon sued over 'dangerous partnership' with virtual casino apps | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Mitch Korbey, partner and chair of Herrick's Land Use and Zoning practice, is joined by Basha Gerhards, Senior Vice President of Planning at REBNY, to discuss plans recently announced by the Mayor and the Planning Department to permit the conversion of certain office buildings in New York City.  Current zoning permits limited conversions in limited areas, but this new plan would more broadly apply.  Our speakers discuss the many nuances for such developments across the City. As the need for housing of all types continues to grow, Mitch and Basha's dialogue of what is possible, probable and next for the City of New York is timely and critical.Music by Michelangelo Sosnowitz

Daniel Tropp founded AEBOV Industrial Realty Brokerage to hone in on his passion for industrial real estate and offer new solutions to valued clients. Over the past 10 years, Daniel has had the privilege of working for some of New York City's most influential owners and working alongside some of the industry's brightest brokers while leading teams at Avison Young and Ariel Property Advisors. He chairs REBNY's Development Committee, contributes regular columns to the Commercial Observer, and has also been quoted in the NY Times, Real Deal, NY YIMBY, Real Estate Weekly, Connect Media, BISNOW, and more.   Today, Daniel joins us to discuss industrial real estate and how sales and leasing are booming thanks to the increasing sophistication of industrial properties and investors' interest in this type of asset. He also gives his perspective on the cannabis industry, how it overlaps with industrial real estate, and why entrepreneurs should get into the space. [00:01 - 10:19] Bringing Innovation as an Industrial Brokerage Daniel made the jump into this field after noticing that other real estate professionals weren't providing the same level of service to industrial clients as they were to other product types Industrial properties are often overvalued due to the lack of accurate valuation methods Using 3D tours, drone footage, and other technologies, Daniel and his team are able to provide more accurate valuations and feedback from owners, which leads to better decisions when leasing or selling industrial properties There are a lot of things that impact the value of an industrial property: proximity to transportation, ceiling height, functionality  Breaking down the sales volume vs the leasing volume in the market [10:20 - 18:22]  The New Frontier: Cannabis Real Estate With the developments in cannabis legislation, it is becoming a legitimate business There's a demand for industrial properties from operators looking for cultivation space, and then once found, they must navigate city ordinances Other large companies are not yet willing to enter the industry due to the stigma There are plenty of opportunities because there is still less competition However, upon legalization, the artificially low supply will go away and the market might become saturated   [18:21 - 20:47] Closing Segment Daniel's advice to aspiring investors Reach out to Daniel!  Links Below Final Words Tweetable Quotes   “You look at a marketing flyer or setup for something like a high-end office or even development, and they're just beautiful marketing materials. And then I would get these industrial setups and they're still black and white kind of grainy fax sheets.” - Daniel Tropp   “There's real value in unlocking the real estate. So if you're able to partner with a broker that understands those ordinances and understands where to look, then you can go in and buy something, and then stabilize it.” - Daniel Tropp   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------   Connect with Daniel!

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Daniel Tropp: You know, my understanding is it's federally still illegal to transport between states. So a lot of this supply chain, to get to the dispensaries in New Jersey, needs to come from somewhere in New Jersey. So everything, every use down the line, cultivation to manufacturing, to distributing products, delivery, retail dispensaries, that all has to be sort of in state.  [00:00:34] Sam Wilson: Daniel Tropp is an industrial real estate broker licensed in New York and New Jersey. He also works with cannabis licensees to secure viable space. Daniel, welcome to the show.  [00:00:44] Daniel Tropp: Sam, thanks so much for having me on. I'm looking forward to it.  [00:00:47] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. The pleasure is mine. Daniel, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes in the show: In 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now, and how did you get there?  [00:00:56] Daniel Tropp: Yeah, absolutely. Pretty much been in real estate my whole professional life. At 18, I got into the residential side as soon as I was old enough to get licensed and toy around in that, wasn't very good at it. So once I graduated college, I got, you know, more focused on the commercial side. I actually went to office lease leasing, which I did for two years, but also wasn't really the best fit there. So eventually transitioned over to investment sales where things just sort of clicked, you know, mentally thebulb went off, and everything aligned. It was a much better use of my skillset and I'd been at some smaller and then mid-market, and then larger kind of corporate global shops over my career before two years ago, just really due to circumstance of the pandemic and everything going on, starting the company that I own now, AEBOV, really just focusing on industrial sales and leasing in New York and New Jersey and, yeah, haven't really looked back since.  [00:01:53] Sam Wilson: That is fantastic. Tell me, you know, when you made that jump, what were the things that were clues to you that said, Hey, one, it's time to go into what you are specializing in now. And then, you know  [00:02:05] Daniel Tropp: Yes, it's a great question. As far as the confidence, I had done a few industrial deals over my career, but it was never really a product focus of mine. So I was either focused on markets, So areas in New York, areas in Brooklyn where I was just the territory guy and some industrial had kind of crossed my plate along with multifamilt development and everything else. So I had the experience, but I would notice the industrial brokerages really didn't provide the same services to the market, didn't add the same value I felt towards clients as some of the other product types. So you look at a marketing flyer or setup for something like a high-end office or even development, and they're just beautiful marketing materials. They're kind of elaborate, they're laid out really well, and then I would get these industrial setups and they're still black and white kind of grainy fax sheets, you know? So that was one thing. And then I also thinking about the way brokers offer valuations just as a foot in the door to our clients. I said, there's a way to improve that too, as opposed to the hard copies, the books that brokerages would do, and it was just the industry standard. We can digitize it, we can put it on an online platform where owners can kind of interact and ask questions and we can plug changes in real time. So it was a combination of those ideas I thought. I just kept kind of honing in on industrial and saying, if we can do this with industrial, where it's kind of a step behind, and we can build a nice website and offer these services and really modernize it, You know, industrial's on fire now. It's not just a great market, but it's an increasingly sophisticated and kind of savvy market. It's, it's appealing to more and more investors. The timing's right? It's, you know, it's going to work. So I just kept telling myself that and I, I think we've been able to add a lot of value to our clients so far using that.  [00:03:52] Sam Wilson: Let's talk about industrial valuations here for a minute. When you were kind of, you know, given the, you know, the black and white flyers and things like that, it took me back to my residential days where you can get in and there's platforms online, you know, especially as a broker, as an agent, where you can get in and you can add, okay, hey, maybe they didn't accurately capture the square feet in the house, maybe they didn't capture additions, maybe even though it might have been put through codes, there might be extra bathrooms and things like that that improve the value of the property. Is that kind of the same thing? And you can go in on the back end and add those in and actually see what a real market value might be, say, for that residential house. Are you saying that that same sort of piece is missing in the industrial side and you guys are able to come in and say, hey, wait, there's ways to more accurately reflect the value that this property is?  [00:04:38] Daniel Tropp: So over my career, I've been in some really, really great shops. One common theme was the way we put a property out there will directly impact the end result for the owner. So I always believe that the aesthetic, it's not meaningless, it's important. So we started using 3D tours, drone footage, high def videos and we incorporate that right into this one-page setup. Now we call it a teleport. So, an investor can just hover over it and very quickly kind of be brought up to speed with the visual, which is really important still these days because a lot of people are working remotely or from the road or whatever case. On the valuation side, I think we miss less with this model because the old model of a broker taking the information, printing a hardbound book, going to the owner's office, sitting down, discussing the property, well, if they missed something, or if the owner got an LOI between the time they spoke and the time they got to their meeting, what does a broker do? He takes out his iPhone and calculator and, okay, like, here's the new value, and it was just the norm. So I get a lot of good feedback on the valuations that we do now because owners, as they go through it, will say, oh, you know what? I forgot to tell you about this. Actually, we underwrote a $15 rent a couple of months ago. I got an LOI for 18, or you know, I noticed this bill. So it's an exercise for them too. And it's normal. I think that as they're going through it, they're going to remember certain new facts about the property, and then we just incorporate it in real-time into our end. We have the presentation, which is spreadsheets. Nobody really loves to see that. On the owner's end, they have a nice polished presentation with all the values and how we're deriving everything. So it's a cool product. [00:06:25] Sam Wilson: That's fantastic. And it's always interesting how you can find innovation in an industry. You would think that, okay, you know, the industrial space, like there's enough people playing in this space that it's innovated out, but clearly that's not the case. Tell me, what are some things that you're finding that directly impact the value of industrial proper?  [00:06:44] Daniel Tropp: So, right now, especially since I think those two steep rate hikes in June and July, it's definitely been a fight to quality. I think tenancy, which has always been important, is now more important than ever. We'll see a really, really sharp premium on properties that are leased to credit tenants. I think proximity to transportation has become a lot more important. What owners here from their tenants is, you know, we're getting crushed on gas prices, deliveries, everything else that we have to do, we're too far from whatever market we're in. So because of that, and I think gas has probably peaked back in May or June or whatever it was, but tenants are still very sensitive to it. And as such, I think investors are starting to pay attention to, okay, how far am I from the market with this property? How far are they from the highway? How good is the access? So that's been something else that we've definitely noticed. Ceiling heights, again, always an important metric for industrial, but really important right now. I think with the way the functionality and the use of the physical warehouse space has changed from more warehousing and storage to the more modern use of get things in quickly, get 'em out quick, even quicker, right? So we need to maximize every inch of the space. So ceiling height and functionality I think is really important. The newer warehouses seem to be a lot more in demand than things that are a little bit more antiquated and tougher to retrofit.  [00:08:09] Sam Wilson: That's really, really interesting. Now, you were telling me earlier, before we jumped here on air, was that the sales volume has been incredible compared to the leasing volume in your market. Can you explain that and how that, what the correlation of that and vacancy is?  [00:08:25] Daniel Tropp: Sure. When we started the company two years ago, we anticipated doing a good amount of leasing, but there really hasn't been much because the vacancy rate is, I think, let's take a market like New Jersey, maybe in the two or 3% right now, it's October. But when you start looking, okay, I have clients that have very particular needs, so they need those high ceiling heights. They need great access. They need X number loading positions, and you bifurcate and take out that really high-caliber product. The effective vacancy rate of that newer product with all those features might be zero. So there's just not a ton of leasing to go around. Where we have seen more opportunities definitely on the sales side, and I think we can be even more specific and say it's been a lot of sale leasebacks has been owner users that are in some way, shape, or form, still impacted from COVID. Either they're kind of busting at the seams and they're doing you know, home repairs or home supply. Home materials, home building materials, or services for commercial real estate and they can't grow fast enough, so they want to lease back with some flexibility so that they can scale up. Or on the other end, people that maybe are a little bit, like, closer to retirement, thinking about shutting down or their business has been impacted in a negative way, they're scaling back, but they don't exactly know when and where that's going to happen. So they also want to monetize today based on where the market is and then kind of take that 1, 2, 3 year period to figure out their next steps. So that's been a lot, I would say, most of the sale clients that we've we've seen.  [00:09:59] Sam Wilson: That's interesting. I would not have tied those together. with saying that sales would increase with a decrease in vacancy versus leasing out. You know, again, I'm not in your industry necessarily or in the industrial industry. So I wouldn't, you know, that's just not the way I necessarily think about those things. But that's really interesting. Thanks for taking the time to break that down for us. Tell me when it comes to cannabis. What are you seeing in that space? Is that something you guys are involved in? Is there an opportunity there? Walk us through that.  [00:10:29] Daniel Tropp: Sure. So it's something we kind of got accidentally involved in about a year ago, more so in New Jersey than New York, where it's a little bit younger, but the potential is there. Look, regardless, and I think the stigma around the country is changing, but even regardless of that, it's projected to be a multi-billion dollar-a-year industry and it's legitimate now. And you have all these uses in the supply chain that are coming to light. So as it turns out, there's a huge overlap with industrial properties, which we have in our system kind of cataloged and we know all those owners anyway, so now it's been kind of a nice thing to be able to go to them and inform them about this new potential use out there. In a market like New Jersey, for instance, the townships that opt in will then basically write their ordinance or their own zoning code for where the properties can be. So on top of the very low vacancy rate for industrial, let's say there's a cannabis operator that's looking for cultivation space. Now you have to go look at which townships opted in. There aren't many of them. And then once you find those, where does the ordinance define as far as properties that we can use? So you find those limited number of properties. Then you have to really understand, okay, which are functional for us, which are available. So the way the process works, it creates this very artificially low supply of actually viable properties. And that's where it's been exciting for us as brokerage s, on the brokerage side, 'cause we're able to come in decipher these ordinances, tell our clients, you know, let's take a look at X, Y, and Z townships we'll go after the specific properties and the owners that are viable, and we'll find you something. So it's been more buyer and tenant rep on that side, but it's the wild west right now. It's like a new frontier and it's really cool to be a part of it. [00:12:12] Sam Wilson: That's awesome. I want to hear more about that, but I guess I have a question. Why why would someone necessarily put a grow operation, and again, I'm not in the cannabis space, so if I use the wrong words, please correct me. But why would someone put a grow operation, say in New Jersey when maybe they could get somewhere further out rural, I mean, is it location specific? Why does it need to be in a certain area versus, you know, why would someone lease industrial space in New Jersey to put a grow operation in versus going somewhere out in the middle of the countryside and building a grow operation?  [00:12:42] Daniel Tropp: That's a great question. I'm still learning it myself, and I'm not on the operation side, but I'm speaking to all these operators. You know, my understanding is it's federally still illegal to transport between states. So a lot of this supply chain to get to the dispensaries in New Jersey needs to come from somewhere in New Jersey. So everything, every use down the line cultivation to manufacturing, to distributing products, delivery, retail dispensaries, that all has to be sort of in state.  [00:13:12] Sam Wilson: Got it. Now that clarifies things quite a bit, what do you see as the opportunity for the investor in this space? Let's say somebody like myself wanted to come along and said, hey, Daniel, I want to own the real estate. I don't want to be an operator. I'm not looking to start a grow operation, but I'm interested in investing in the cannabis space and helping that move forward. What would you suggest?  [00:13:34] Daniel Tropp: It's a tremendous opportunity. I think it's kind of parallel to why there's so much opportunity for us as brokerages. As a broker, a lot of the bigger brokerages out there, the corporate sort of global or national brokerages, they won't touch the use, whether it's just stigma or whether they have a board to answer to with disclosures about certain things that they can get involved with or not federally. It is still an illegal drug, so right off the bat, most of the competition that we would face selling just a straightforward 50,000-foot warehouse from brokers. They don't exist in this space. And similar for the buyers, for the investors, a lot of the bigger investors with institutional money behind them, with disclosures, with whatever else investors that they have to answer to, they're starting to look at it maybe, but they're still not really ready. So for the entrepreneurial-minded, sort of quicker nimble investor, I think it's it's a great space to plan and to look at.  [00:14:34] Sam Wilson: Do you see investors coming in buying a real estate than pairing up with someone like yourself and saying, hey, go find a tenant for us, or, you know, I mean, is that the way that works? Or, I guess, the real question is, you know, how does someone like myself get involved in that?  [00:14:48] Daniel Tropp: I think it's twofold, right? We can find the real estate, there's real value in unlocking the real estate. So if you're able to partner with a broker that understands those ordinances and understands where to look, and you can go in and buy something, and then stabilize it, that's a great plan. Again, because there's a very artificially low supply, so there is real value there. And the users, I kind of, like, use the if you build it, they will come sort of analogy. The users, the operators, if you control the real estate, you'll find them. And then on the flip side, wait it out a little bit and let the market kind of develop and get established. Let somebody else do the legwork, stabilize the asset, put in a good operator, and in time, I'm sure those opportunities will start coming to market too.  [00:15:34] Sam Wilson: Right. And I guess the risk would be in this, let's say that, you know, maybe the operators currently are paying up for this space. I would assume they have to be 'cause there's an artificially low supply and their excess demand, that means the prices are going to obviously be quite high. Your risk in that would be that maybe in the next two to five years, all of a sudden, you know, weed gets, I don't know, you call it weed or pot, whatever, I don't even what you call it, marijuana gets legalized and then all of a sudden, you know, well the artificially low supply kind of goes away. Is that a fair risk that I see in the space?  [00:16:08] Daniel Tropp: Yeah, that's one. Think based on the political landscape in a typical whole period, five to seven years, and I'm not, you know, a lobbyist or a political guy, but I don't think it happens. I think the window, most people expected that federally it would be decriminalized has kind of passed and it didn't happen. So because of the way, you know, politics and the three houses are structured right now. I don't see that as an immediate risk. I think the other risk is, do you want to be the investor that comes in, buys a property, vacant, takes on the risk, juices the rent, two, three, maybe four times fold, fourfold in some of these cases, and then have your exit? Or do you want to have someone else come in, take on the risk, bump those rents, and then come in and buy the stabilized asset?  [00:16:55] Sam Wilson: It could go either way. It can absolutely go either way. And I guess it depends on what type of investor you are and what your risk appetite is. I mean, one is more of the cash flow play and one is more of a spec play. I guess that's the beauty and the risk of what it is that we do. That's really, really fascinating. I mean, what would you estimate, you know, if it is such a niche product that you guys are, you know, locating, like how much of that is actually out there? Is it already saturated? Is it all already taken or is there still acquisitions to be had? [00:17:27] Daniel Tropp: There's still acquisitions to be had. I think very few townships, let's again use New Jersey 'cause it's just a little bit more established, opted in. But the thought process among like people in the industry is that once other townships that didn't opt in see the benefit and the tax revenues and everything going on in those areas that did, more chips will fall. So I think for the foreseeable future, for the next few years, you will have this market that's gradually expanding, which is a good thing. You don't want kind of inactivity. And on the other end of the spectrum, you don't want this just wide-open boom at the beginning where then things fizzle out. [00:18:03] Sam Wilson: Right. No, that's absolutely right. And I think you hit it on the head there where you said, once they see the tax revenues coming in, and that's, I mean, that's been one of the biggest drivers, just the economic side of it from, you know, from the political side where they go, Oh my gosh, like we're missing out on just enormous tax revenues. Why not legalize it here?  [00:18:22] Daniel Tropp: Absolutely.  [00:18:22] Sam Wilson: Yeah, that's absolutely awesome. Daniel, if you rewound your investing career or your brokerage career in real estate, what is one thing you feel like you've done really well that other people should emulate? [00:18:36] Daniel Tropp: I can't take credit for it again 'cause it was more circumstance, but, and I go back and forth over it all the time. You know, should I have left sooner and started going on shop? Or did I need that experience that I had to that point to have the success I'm having now and be able to build what I built now. So I think just at any point, having the chance to do something on your own, taking it, right, maybe it's the dream all along. It wasn't for me. I kind of fell into it, which worked out really well. But if that's someone's passion now, if that's their dream, I'm always trying to tell people, look, leverage the relationship. Let me know if I can help at all 'cause I'd love to see you go out on your own. I'd love to see more people do it. I think it really sparks the market and gives like new purposes and new innovations and just brings about more for everyone, kind of raises us all up.  [00:19:27] Sam Wilson: That's awesome. Daniel, thank you for taking the time to come on the show today and share with us. I've learned so much from you about the opportunity in the cannabis space, things that impact value inside of industrial real estate, what it looks like. You know, we talked a little about sales versus leasing and how they're driven by vacancy. Learned a lot from you. Certainly appreciate it. If our listeners want to get in touch with you, learn more about industrial real estate in New Jersey and New York, what is the best way to do that?  [00:19:51] Daniel Tropp: By all means, anyone can DM me on LinkedIn or Instagram or shoot me an email. It's last name, first initial T R O P P D @ aebov, A E B O V.com.  [00:20:05] Sam Wilson: Fantastic, and we'll make sure, Dan, we put that there in the show notes. Thank you again for coming on today. Certainly appreciate it. [00:20:10] Daniel Tropp: Sam. Thanks for having me. This was great.

April 28, 2021 - The coming year will be one of the most pivotal moments in New York’s history. The Pandemic landed a body-blow to families, communities and businesses. As we begin the hard work of repairing the social and economic damage, there is an understanding that Covid-19 exacerbated many of the city’s pre-existing ills and injustices. It also demonstrated the resilience and creativity of its people. Against this backdrop, we will have a new mayor and a fresh administration ready to make their mark. In addition, a full 60% of the City Council will be new to their posts. And Washington DC seems to be focused on policies, and dollars, that are more NYC-friendly. This panel will discuss the opportunities and challenges of “city building” in this period. What are the big Land Use and Zoning initiatives being considered? What are the barriers to change and development? How do we balance city-wide needs with local interests?

Introduction: Today we have with us none other than the ground breaking Sandhya Espitia, who for the last year and a half has been busy moving mountains as the senior VP of brokerage services for the Real Estate Board of New York. Prior to her role with REBNY, Sandhya spent the previous decade, first at Harvard University in program development, and thereafter with the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), as VP of industry education and certification. In line with her mantra of unlocking the status quo, Sandhya thankfully is a way bigger fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers song “Power of Equality” when it comes to acquiring and passing along knowledge to REBNY and its members, than she is of the lyrics “We don’t need no education” by rock n’ roll hall of famers Pink Floyd. And just as importantly, in doing so, she accomplishes this in line with another one of her mantras, namely that of “Wherever you are, smile.”   Episode Notes: At 2:52, Sandhya Espitia describes her first job working for a developer who specialized in buying distressed assets. At 4:26, Sandhya shares her energy, work ethic, hustle, and hands on involvement in every single project. At 5:45, she notes her love for technology and the benefit of being connected. At 7:03, Sandhya points out that she is very big on trust, and chats about the advice she received from her former boss at Harvard University that has stuck with her. At 8:15, she informs us of her “Oh my!” moment (namely helping create a start-up within Harvard University, and thereafter partnering with the Dominican Republic to improve their education system). At 10:55, Sandhya said, “Any intention or any aspiration for change requires learning.” At 12:47, she discusses being a culprit and victim of “phubbing.” At 13:47, Sandhya shares her passion for change management, and her dislike of the status quo. At 14:41, she notes the need to change old practices within the industry, and adopt new ways of thinking. At 16:12, Sandhya believes in the power of the collective, multidisciplinary teams, experimentation and being ok with failure. At 17:37, she shares how she invests in herself, her enjoyment of being busy, and having worked on 5 different continents. At 18:54, Sandhya dives into giving back, and in particular, coaching friends and co-workers. At 21:14, she touches upon gender biases in real estate, and creating access and exposure for women. At 25:09, Sandhya mentions that life is all about purpose - and waking up with a plan. At 26:35, she highlights her attraction in solving complex issues and real problems within organizations. At 28:15, Sandhya dishes on coaching, human interaction, and why it is so critical to treat people starting with a baseline of competence and intelligence (until proven otherwise). At 29:43, she shares lessons learned from her mother and father. At 32:15, Sandhya talks about change of attitude and self-investment. At 33:21, she enlightens us on her dream of going to space in her lifetime. At 34:06, Sandhya informs us on how she finds the balance through exercise, going on walks and spending time with her 3-year-old daughter. At 35:06, Espitia concludes the podcast with a statement on how she is proud to be someone who’s always thinking with the future in mind.

Introduction: Gene Spiegelman is the legendary two-time REBNY retail deal of the year winner, five-time top retail producer for his former company Cushman & Wakefield, and now Principal and Vice Chairman at RIPCO Real Estate. Clients of Gene’s over the years have included Gucci, Crate & Barrel, Trader Joe’s, Century 21 Department Stores, Eastgate Realty, Millennium Partners and Zeckendorf Development. With props out to one of his favorite bands back in the day, namely Public Enemy, given Gene’s knowledge of site selection, development, leasing, and acumen in negotiating complex retail transactions for both retailers and landlords, simply put, “He Got Game.” When Gene isn’t out being an agent of change for his client’s or rooting for his undergraduate alma mater the University of Maryland Terrapins, Gene enjoys spending time with his family, skiing and being on the water.   Episode Notes: At 3:25, Gene Spiegelman notes that focus is the most important aspect of developing a career. He also touches upon picking a discipline and then becoming a master of that discipline. At 5:00, Gene discusses planning with patience in mind, and beginning each week (and year) with a plan setting out objectives to accomplish your goals. At 6:23, he shares how his real estate career started with spending a day driving around shadowing a broker friend of his out canvassing industrial real estate properties on Long Island. Gene started out on a $200 per week draw at his first brokerage job upon graduation from the University of Maryland. At 8:10, he talks about pursuing his masters in real estate at New York University in the early 1990’s. At 9:14, Gene advises that “The best way to acquire knowledge is to listen.” At 10:24, he points out his love for libraries back in the day, and how research, listening and taking time to process is how one can gain knowledge. At 11:42, Gene notes that the risk in his move from Cushman & Wakefield to RIPCO was calculated. He felt that staying in place in a very large organization was more of a risk. What appealed to him about the move was that he could touch and feel the business at RIPCO and make a difference. At 14:12, Gene describes why he enjoys mentoring at both a professional and personal level, as well as building awareness and helping others who have celiac disease or other digestive disorders. At 16:05, he touches upon the opportunity to work and mold something with a great set of people in the entrepreneurial environment at RIPCO. At 17:55, Gene discusses how occupiers are controlling the conversation today, and RIPCO’s relationships with the “tenant community” (working with Target, Best Buy, etc.). At 20:08, he suggests not to make the mistake of pursuing the deal and not pursuing the client - one has to look down the road and pursue the larger objective. At 21:27, Gene dives into why he likes Public Enemy. At 25:36, Larry Haber talks about the “JIMI” experience, and Gene notes the power of people feeling good about what they are doing (and thereafter the purchasing process that follows). At 26:43, Gene encourages patience, the will to make mistakes, and to learn from one’s failures. The worst thing is to sit back and do nothing. At 29:21, he believes that the majority of people are successful working in a team and giving environment. At 31:56, Gene said, “The best partners are partners that go in different directions. Those that each have individual skill sets and disciplines, and who pursue different areas of their own expertise that they bring back to center.” At 35:36, he talks about his interview style of getting to know the interviewee at a personal level from the get-go. At 37:15, Gene looks back to December of 1992, the transition point of his career interviewing at the Edward S. Gordon Company. At 38:39, he shares his career advice for students, and why pursuing a professional license and/or certification is attractive. At 43:56, Larry asks Gene a “what would you do” type of question. At 48:58, Gene notes that he enjoys spending time on his boat anchored overnight, and skiing with his family. At 50:25, Gene Spiegelman closes out the interview and advises why you shouldn’t stop believing.

Industry Relations EP007  Greg Fischer Takes Us Back to the Future with NYC Brokers vs. Zillow   We’re feeling a little déjà vu at Industry Relations as controversy brews between Zillow and brokers in NYC. Everything old is new again with the launch of the premier agent feature on leading real estate marketplace StreetEasy. For the last ten years, agents across the country have dealt with syndication – and it seems New York real estate’s time has come. Today’s guest, Greg Fischer, serves as principal broker at Fred Real Estate Group in Bend, Oregon, and author of the blog Next in Housing. His unique background also includes work in the tech industry with real estate software companies Move, Inc. in San Francisco and Doorsteps in New York City. This makes him uniquely qualified to discuss the bruhaha as NYC brokers decide whether to pay the Zillow tax or boycott it. **Audio alert.  Robertson's audio track has an echo effect that we couldn't get rid of in post.  But Fischer and Rob audio (which handle the majority of the discussion) sounds great.***   What’s Discussed:  How NYC brokers reacted to the premier agent feature on StreetEasy How StreetEasy GM Susan Daimler justified the change Home shoppers deserve the option to connect with agent who represents only them The explicit language used by the StreetEasy product to suggest a buyer agent Why NYC should seek the counsel of brokerages around the country who have dealt with syndication How Manhattan real estate does business differently Listing agents are used to owning all buyer leads REBNY’s request for an investigation into the legality of advertising an exclusive listing The potential to create an MLS in NYC Change in compensation model Dominance of top ten listing brokers Legal ramifications of only sharing data feed with REBNY The differences among IDX, VOW and StreetEasy’s premier agent The danger of dual agency Fischer’s take on leads generated via third-party websites Inquiries rarely lead to sales The evolution of Zillow’s playbook on generating revenue Why brokerages need to get savvy on how ad tech works The value of agents as local experts Compass CEO Robert Reffkin’s concession to Zillow   Resources:   Greg Fischer’s Premier Agent Blog Post The Real Deal’s Premier Agent Article The Real Deal’s Premier Agent Video Vendor Alley Job Board   Connect with Greg Fischer: Blog Twitter
