About this listen

This podcast is about getting real estate deals done—from the first conversation to the finish line.

We talk about what it really takes to close deals in commercial real estate, with some insight into residential deals as well. You’ll hear real, day-to-day stories from the field: negotiations, challenges, problem-solving, and the moments that make or break a deal.

Guests include my associates, industry professionals, and neighbors who are part of the commercial landscape of Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. They share their experiences, lessons learned, and the behind-the-scenes work that never makes the headlines.

This is an honest look at real estate—how deals happen, why they fall apart, and what it takes to get them across the finish line.
