Not every day in commercial real estate is glamorous!
Most days, we're buried in spreadsheets, preparing valuations, returning phone calls, or touring buildings that may or may not have working lights, heat, or a key that fits the front door.
But recently, our own AJ Thoma III, CCIM, SIOR, and Josh Markiewicz traded their usual routines for a trip to the big city!
They spent the day in Chicago with Coldwell Banker Commercial leadership, including Dan Spiegel, Matt Kornfein, and Natalie Hamrick, discussing international expansion and the future growth of the CBC brand.
Not bad for two brokers from a smaller Central Illinois market!
We're grateful to have been invited to share our perspectives on a conversation that extends well beyond the markets we serve. It's a great reminder that valuable insights don't always come from the biggest markets.
A day away from the spreadsheets and an opportunity to think a little bigger. We'll take it!
