Your investment strategy doesn’t have to stop at the state line.

One of the things I love about being with eXp Commercial is the ability to think much bigger when helping my investor clients.

If the right opportunity isn’t in Minnesota, we don’t have to stop looking.

Texas? Florida? Tennessee? Arizona? Somewhere we haven’t considered yet?

I can hunt for the deal—not just the ZIP code.

Through eXp Commercial’s national network and the ability to collaborate with local market experts, I can help investors identify opportunities across the country while remaining a consistent point of contact throughout the process.

That means I’m not simply waiting for a property to hit the market.

I’m looking at the investment criteria first:

• What returns are you targeting?
• What asset class makes sense?
• Value-add or stabilized?
• What markets support the strategy?
• Where can we find the best opportunity for your capital?

Then we go find it.

Commercial real estate investing shouldn’t necessarily be about buying what’s closest to home. It should be about finding the opportunity that makes sense for your goals.

That’s one of the biggest advantages I can bring to my investor clients:

Your goals. My network. National reach.

Commercial real estate negotiations aren’t about “winning.”

I’ve spent a lot of time in lease negotiations lately, and it’s been a good reminder that the best negotiations rarely end with one side getting everything they asked for.

A tenant has priorities.

A landlord has priorities.

And somewhere in the middle is a deal that has to work for both sides long after everyone signs.

For me, representation means more than negotiating the terms in front of us today. It means advocating for my client and anticipating what those terms could mean for them years from now.

➡️What happens at renewal?

➡️How could operating expenses change?

➡️Does the lease give them enough flexibility if the business grows?

➡️What responsibilities are they taking on that could become costly later?

➡️What sounds insignificant today but could matter three, five, or ten years from now?

My job is to ask those questions, identify where we have leverage, know where we can compromise, and recognize when something is important enough to push back on.

Because not every term carries the same weight.

Sometimes getting the right answer on one important issue is worth giving a little somewhere else.

And sometimes one sentence in a lease can have consequences nobody thought about when the deal was made.

Good negotiation isn’t about winning every point. It’s about protecting your client’s interests today while anticipating what they may need tomorrow.

That’s the difference between simply getting a lease signed and truly representing your client.

Commercial real estate will teach you very quickly that not every win comes with a closing statement.

Sometimes the win is getting the deal done.

Sometimes it’s negotiating better terms for your client.

Sometimes it’s finding the opportunity nobody else was looking at.

And sometimes?

The win is walking away.

This week was a reminder that my job isn’t to make every deal work.

It’s to ask the right questions, protect my clients, communicate even when the answer isn’t what someone wants to hear, and recognize when something simply isn’t right.

There are deals worth fighting for.
There are deals that require patience.
And there are deals or situations you need to have enough confidence to leave behind.

I’m learning to appreciate all three.

That’s the part of commercial real estate I don’t think gets talked about enough.

Success isn’t just knowing how to close. It’s knowing what deserves your time, your energy, and your reputation.

Onward. 🖤

A property can check every box on paper and still be the wrong fit.

✅ The numbers matter.
✅ The location matters.
✅ The lease terms matter.

But so does the business owner’s vision.

The best deals aren’t just financially sound, they help businesses grow.

That’s why I spend more time asking questions than selling space.

Every client has a different goal, and my job is to help them find the property that supports it.

That’s what makes this business so rewarding.🤩

There will always be opinions about how you should grow, what you should pursue, or how fast you should get there. I’ve learned it’s important to listen, learn, and seek advice but at some point, you have to trust yourself.

Growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like showing up every day, doing the work, and staying committed even when no one sees it.

Here’s to trusting the process.⭐️

Figured I’d save everyone a few cold calls… 😂

Not everyone will understand your vision.

Some people will see obstacles where you see opportunity.
Some will settle where you’re just getting started.

And that’s okay.

We all have different comfort zones, different goals, and different definitions of success.

Don’t let someone else’s ceiling become your limit.

Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep taking calculated risks.

The people who are meant to be part of your journey will never ask you to shrink your ambition to make them comfortable.

Your ceiling isn’t my ceiling.

Here’s to thinking bigger, reaching higher, and refusing to put limits on what’s possible. 🚀
