Industrial real estate broker, owner, and Principal at Brit Properties, Joel Friedland, has a 40-year track record in industrial real estate, having secured more than 2,000 industrial property leases and sales. If you asked Joel his greatest career accomplishment, he would say that it’s his ability to maintain valued relationships spanning five decades. In today’s episode, he offers insight into his tried-and-true code of conduct for building lasting relationships, loosely based on Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements (a highly recommended read from our guest). Joel also shares a few anecdotes that illustrate how you can build relationships anywhere, whether you’re driving down the road or picking up your dry cleaning. We take a deeper look at the industrial product type, current investor sentiments in the space, and the deal structure at Brit Properties. Tune in today for all this and more!
