748 DAYS....
Let me share with you my rollercoaster tale of persistence and trust-building. Strap in, because I've got a story that will leave you inspired and motivated to never give up.
On January 19, 2022, we delivered a pitch presentation for a Taco Bell portfolio to a new client we were in the early innings of building a relationship with. It was well-received, but the opportunity never materialized because the tenant exercised its ROFR and acquired the properties.
Little did I know that this would be the start of an extraordinary journey, filled with ups and downs, challenges, and countless hours of dedication.
From the very beginning, I made it a point to stay in touch with my client regularly. Whether it was a quick check-in call or sharing valuable insights about the market, I ensured that I remained top-of-mind throughout the process.
I sent them comps. I sent them recent successes of our team closing Taco Bells around the country. I sent them Taco Bell to their offices for lunch. I sent them pictures of me eating Taco Bell – Please get a laugh from the picture below. I flew down to Texas to have dinner with them to discuss their needs and dreams. It wasn’t and isn’t just about business for me. I genuinely like to invest time to truly understand my clients’ vision, and together, we navigate the complexities of the market.
Then we finally got our shot – We were engaged to sell these two Taco Bells at the end of last year. Built the best team on the field with Jason DeWitt, Jeffrey Cicurel, Alex Geanakos, and Will Bowater. They are unstoppable and produced superb outcomes!
So, what's the key takeaway from my 748-day odyssey? It's this: success in real estate, or any industry for that matter, is built on trust, perseverance, and genuine human connection. It's about staying in touch, listening, empathizing, and going the extra mile to understand your client's needs. It's about forging relationships that withstand the test of time.
Today, as we celebrate the culmination of this long and arduous journey, we want to thank our client for placing their trust in us and joining us on this incredible ride.
Thank you and to many more!
