• Vacancy on for-sale retail listings hit a record-low 5.4% in Q1 2026​

• Second-gen space is king as build-out costs stay elevated​

• EV showrooms and experiential tenants are reshaping big-box reuse​

• Loan maturities may be the catalyst that finally unlocks inventory​

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!!

[Rita Michil @RitaMichilCRE]

Everyone is saying this was best Real Estate Gala yet and it’s true! Thank you @BobKnakal and @realEstateTrent The energy this year amazing 🔥 🔥
