Customer Reviews
One of the best commercial podcasts!
I’m a rookie in the CRE business and after listening to many episodes I found myself having a good direction on what to work on and how to be a resourceful professional until I collect the years of experience. You guys touch on subjects that are relevant, and help me leverage my current skills even thought I’m new. I’ve heard of Bo before joining his CCIM class by fellow CCIM students that recommended him as an instructor and I’m happy I got to attend and learn from him (and Francisco). #nohateforukrainiancriminals ;)
These podcasts are gold! Very entertaining, funny and easy to stay engaged throughout the episode. Keep it up!!!
Great topics, entertaining and relevant
Great podcast for Commercial Real Estate agents and investors. As a CCIM I find the content is very relevant. Really enjoy the interaction and episode recaps.
My second favorite podcast! 😉
Bo has expertise in so many facets of business, making the podcast informative, while Timmy makes the show fun and can hold your attention by finding humor through even the most technical jargon. You two complement each other so well!
Love you guys!!
