@realEstateTrent Commercial Leasing in downtown Brooklyn. Currently have $240,000 in receivables from recently closed leases and another $10 MM+ in active negotiations.
20 years ago, if you had told any local what was about to happen to downtown Brooklyn, not one of them would have believed you.
We are always available to discuss opportunities in Brooklyn and NYC. #cre

THIS. Never stop learning and surround yourself with those you wish to emulate.
I participate in SIOR and CCIM and never leave a class or conference without feeling a little more connected and wiser.
Studies have shown that people who invest 3% of their gross income back into their own personal development are far more likely to reach the pinnacle of their chosen careers and that they are more often in the top 1% of all performers in their fields.
Another in a series of "Thought of the Day": We must be proactive and creative, not reactionary.
While this issue pertains to life in general, I believe it is particularly true in business, and more particularly our commercial real estate brokerage business.
There are so many things going on each day that it is easy to sit at your desk and just react to things all day long. If you spend all of your time reacting, you cannot focus on what your goals and objectives are. You cannot focus on your plan. You cannot check things off of your to-do list. You cannot get where you want to go.
People who have trouble getting where they want to go, have a basic problem; they are reacting to people all day long. In this state, they generally wallow in their negative emotional reactions to people. If this is you, you do not need to go through a huge change, just a gentle shift. You need to shift from reacting to creating.
The difficulty in changing habits lies in the fact that we are changing something that feels completely natural to us. Good habits feel natural; bad habits feel natural. This is the nature of a habit. When you change a bad habit that feels natural to a good habit that feels natural, you feel exactly the same. It’s just that you get completely different results.
Ask yourself the question first asked by Ralph Waldo Emerson many years ago: “Why would my happiness depend on the thoughts going on in someone else’s head?” This question, no matter how we answer it at any given moment, gives us the mental perspective we need to start seeing the possibilities for creatively relating to others instead of just reacting to them.
Think about what you want to accomplish each day. Do what you need to to get those daily goals achieved. We want you to achieve your goals, get where you want to get, and have a happy, successful, and fulfilling life.
The following quote from Rita Mae Brown is particularly appropriate: “A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually, and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.”
Don’t forget to make time to work on your business. You can achieve this when you work on your business, as opposed to working in your business.
@HeatherScottID Did you ask him what media he prefers? Or do you make factless assumptions just like your pig hero? And since we’re labeling, what are YOU a product of?
@ThomasClarkLaw@GIGACHAD2021@RonFilipkowski What do you call the person who graduated last in their class at medical school?
DOCTOR
Get over your hate. Have we ever seen your hero's Wharton transcript? I wonder why we haven't.
@joshgaddymb Keep. Keep. Keep. Appreciation and tax breaks and safety net and many other things. Pay a management company to minimize headaches.
All the best.
@CREgir1 To me, the real issue here is touring the property with the next potential tenant.
New tenants are always (justifiably) worried about possession in these situations. Someone that much in arrears will be in no mood to pay to move and lose any nominal revenue they might be getting
@TheRealEstateG6 I am a commercial broker in downtown Brooklyn, NY. I know much about what you speak. But I must have missed your proposed solution(s.)

@radar1656@thejackhopkins So you're a "proud American male who believes in the constitution?" Is this based on your own interpretation of the document?
@radar1656@thejackhopkins This sounds reasonable to me.
Say this out loud: I WILL BE VOTING FOR A LEGALLY DECLARED RAPIST FOR THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY."
Then ask yourself the question you're asking us.
