Weβre 95% an in-person team. Weβre in the office together, we strongly prefer βrealβ meetings over Zoom and we frequently drive our markets.
Anyone else still a believer of in-office work???
Suiting up to tour fish processing warehouses in #newbedford on a beautiful day last Friday. Anyone with a particular interest in #foodprocessing facilities? Letβs connect.
My brokerage business is in the suburbs. These buildings seem to have a more traditional work week. That said, I never tour office buildings with buyers on Fridays. This policy helps avoid tours through empty rows of cubicles.
Like #bitcoin the remote work debate isn't ending anytime soon. I work in downtown Boston, and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are as busy as ever, whereas Mondays and Fridays are quiet.

The idea that rates will fall precipitously in 2024 was a popular one a few months ago. Today Iβm watching the stock market and employment looking incredibly strong. Why would the Fed drop rates?
Higher for Longer is what weβre hearing from clients in March of β24.
I woke up at 3 AM in order to watch sunrise on top of Mount Moosilauki. Seize the morning has been my motto for both recreation and business.
Many of my best ideas come to me before 8 AM. Anyone else a morning person?

With the S&P 500 at a record high will we start seeing investors moving stock market gains into #CRE? Some of our clients are strictly real estate people and don't really participate in the stock market. Most of our clients have some exposure to public equities.
Many of our clients have defaulted to earning 5% returns in treasuries or money markets while they wait for things to settle down. That trade is starting to look less attractive in 2024.
The era of massive corporate campuses? Probably over in MA. We're seeing a surge in smaller satellite offices. Easier to fit out, lower risk for landlords.
The 2000s playbook for suburban offices? Time to rewrite it. Physical spaces need to be vibrant and close to the team. Investing in these spaces? Still a smart move.
