Real Estate Gala keeps getting better. Thank you to @BobKnakal and @realEstateTrent for making it happen! This year felt like the best kind of family reunion. Grateful to be surrounded by so many inspiring friends. Also somehow got interviewed by X while I was there. Still processing that one. Feeling energized and excited for what is ahead this year 💫 #retwit

4th Annual Real Estate Gala!! They really aren’t lying when they say it gets better every year… and somehow this year exceeded every expectation. Huge thank you to @realEstateTrent, @BobKnakal, and all the sponsors who pulled off an unreal event. Packed day of networking with new people and a night of celebrating with old friends. Exactly what this industry is about. Just over 2 years ago I started posting on X, sharing what it looked like being a brand new investment sales broker. The good, the bad, and the ugly. For some reason a lot of y’all stuck around… and now it’s turned into 4,600 people I consider friends. Also… how crazy is it that @X showed up in full force to highlight the #retwit community. And somehow I ended up getting interviewed by them?? WHAT This business has given me some of the best mentors, partners, and friendships I could ask for. It really does start to feel like family after a while. Also!!! saw my new friend @nilelundgren - stay tuned for some collaboration there 👀 And @Tyleralley… I’ll officially call us best friends now, but just know I’m still coming for your deals. The broker in me isn’t going anywhere 😭😂 Also… not to stir the pot, but I think @sweatystartup and I may have accidentally launched the official Koreatown karaoke after party. We were out until 4:30am so… stay tuned for next year’s monstrosity!!

Just landed in NYC with my girl @RitaMichilCRE for the CRE Gala hosted by @BobKnakal & @realEstateTrent 🏙️ If you see me, don’t be shy…worst case we talk cap rates, best case we accidentally make money together🤷‍♀️😁

Was under contract on a ground lease Taco Bell for roughly $1.1m…Unfortunately, they exercised the ROFR… Anybody else have any ground leases I can put in front of my client?
