@stevegarthwaite Of course you should get the opportunity to sell the deal in normal course of business (common industry courtesy) but it’s not absolute
@stevegarthwaite As a seller selecting a broker, if I find out you’ve redlined certain buyers and are steering deals towards a particular buyer pool for your future benefit I wouldn’t hire you. My point is it’s more about remembering who your client is
@stevegarthwaite It seems silly to not maintain the relationship. Stuff gets sideways sometimes during frothy times and he clearly was able to make a profitable sale without you - can’t blame him. This to me is part of doing business, he doesn’t owe you anything
@JoeCassandra@RussellLowery10 How do you know prices will keep going down? The reality is no one knows so if you have a sound investment thesis and the operational capability to complete the business plan, why would you not buy?
@Retail_survivor Totally agree. Underlying fundamentals are still extremely strong. Retailer resilience and lack of new supply has helped rebalance the supply / demand dynamic. I’ll be watching holiday sales very closely - the next hurdle!
Something no one tells you when you're 20 years old..
MD at investment bank= sales
Partner at consulting firm= sales
Partner at law firm= sales
CEO at tech co= sales
Partner at a VC firm= sales
@saoliver1051 @titlelawyerjoe I use them as a sounding board for creative ideas, navigating complexity and general deal strategy.
If someone turned around and shared pieces or a conversation (even not naming me) or an idea I’d be very upset. I view them as part of the internal team
