Hey everyone! 👋🏽

I’ve been sleeping on X for a while, but it’s time to change that. My name is Gladia, and I’m here to share my journey, connect, and build.

January was uncomfortable — on purpose.

I did alternate day fasting (eat every other day - 36 hr fasts) while training for a half marathon.
Lost 12+ lbs, but gained clarity.

Same lesson applies in real estate:
When you remove noise and distractions, better decisions follow.

@TheDavidCohen_ I’m sure this also comes after building some sort of relationship with the buyer? On new calls with buyers, I explain that communication goes both ways and any concrete feedback helps me send better opportunities that suits their criteria.

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

@RErookieGuy Absolutely! I’m also pivoting to focus more on tracking meaningful conversations that last more than 5 min vs just calls per day. If I can be on the phones 2-4hrs per day I believe that target can be hit

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

I started the Built Different podcast to have real conversations about building — commercial real estate, business, mindset, and the parts people usually don’t talk about.

Every episode is raw, honest, and focused on the journey, not just the wins.

@bavedikian We got lucky — the city already has plans in motion for the exact zoning the buyers want. 🙏🏽

@realEstateTrent I used to get motion sickness bad when I was young. What helped was eating a big meal beforehand and airflow.

Don’t read into the news. Just flew out of Fort Lauderdale today and no issues whatsoever. If you are traveling please be kind to the TSA staff ❤️

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

@kenashley Working on that now!

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

@augustagarei Totally agree! Anywhere where people say it’s “hard” or is “dead”, more opportunities for us

Drove up to Jacksonville to check out my upcoming listing 👀 — solid industrial asset in a prime location with major upside through lease-up.
If you’re looking for value-add opportunities in North Florida, this one’s worth a look.
Shoot me a DM and I’ll send details before it hits the market.

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

@kenashley 💯 Facts. It blows my mind how many brokers don’t return calls or texts. All it takes is doing what you said you’d do — that’s literally the difference between average and elite.

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

@AvivaRealEstate Pretty sure I have the same drone — I literally just used it to shoot a deal I’m putting on the market soon 😂

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

Walked a warehouse that sells paper. That’s a lot of paper 😂😂😂

[Gladia Castro @therealgladia]

Drove up to Jacksonville yesterday for two site visits — one’s a new listing hitting the market soon, and the other we’re hoping to bring on next 👀
Also made my first stop at Buc-ee’s… that place is a TRIP 😂 but their BBQ sandwich? 🔥👏🏽
