Somehow managed to close ~200 retail deals since 2015

@tyleralley is right, and I’ve been hearing this across the board.

The real big money strategy is locking up 3+ acres for economies of scale, ground leasing at least one of the pads, selling another, and using that reduced land basis to make the BTS numbers work.

Retail development used to be very tenant-relationship driven.

I think that play (with some exceptions) is mostly dead.

Or at the very least can't be the heart of a retail developer's strategy anymore.

Here's why 🧵

@jalenbrunson1 is the champ I didn’t know we needed.

The man is all class, great attitude, and hard work.

Other than Bron, haven’t seen a champ like this since Kobe.

The NBA is so back baby.

[Conrad Sarreal @Retail_Rad]

@jalenbrunson1 You are the GOAT of manifestation

[Conrad Sarreal @Retail_Rad]

If the @spurs pull this off from here, this will be the greatest playoff performance of all time.

That might be better than the trophy itself.

My wife wanted to hire a handyman for (probably a few hundred dollars) because our washer kept restarting anytime it spun heavy items and showed an instability error.

- New suspension rods: $30
- Time required to fix: 2 hours

Proving yet again that we don’t need a handyman: priceless

You can’t help but appreciate hearing a guy in Los Angeles, wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops walking by saying:

“It’s just an LOI. It’s non-binding…”

Whoever you were giving them hell in front of KatsuBar on Wilshire Blvd at 12:30pm today, I hope you close that deal!!

What I want for Christmas is to login to Costar peacefully and conveniently. No more taking photos of a computer screen 10 times a day.

Here’s an unpopular truth in CRE that rarely gets said out loud: If you’re a buyer -- befriending active agents who control a good amount of inventory is one of the highest-ROI moves you can make.

And no, I’m not saying that because I’m an agent. I’m saying it because it’s often forgotten, underestimated, or maybe even ignored entirely.

Agents spend many hours every week prospecting for enticing deals, tracking and building rapport with owners, servicing our best clients, and curating opportunities. Given the high demand of certain opportunities, those often times don't hit the market. And the buyers who strengthen relationships with brokers the same way brokers strengthen relationships with sellers… consistently win more deals.

No special tricks. No secret shortcuts. Just two requirements in either scenario: performance and character.

Ideally every deal crosses the finish line! But the reality is some won’t. What matters just as much is how both sides show up. If everyone operates in good faith, communicates transparently, and genuinely tries to execute, that's usually the only other acceptable currency outside of an actual closing.

In CRE, deal flow follows trust. Build that, and everything else becomes easier.

@gas_biz I need to road trip to these guys and check out all the hype

[Conrad Sarreal @Retail_Rad]

@gas_biz Whoa curveballs at #4 and #5. First three are no brainers. Whats the good word with the other two brands?

[Conrad Sarreal @Retail_Rad]

@gas_biz What’s your top 5 cstore rankings 1-5

To be the defending champion but the underdog is why sports will always be interesting.

There will always be a rising challenger.

@chadmbeebe @RotoStreetWolf Had same question. Choosing Bourne I think since Q is back

[The Black Swan Group @BlackSwanGrp]

The best leaders aren’t always the most naturally gifted. They’re the ones who had to fight their way into the room, learn from experience, and build systems around their skills. Leadership isn’t about brilliance—it’s about clarity.
