    Want to read the full show notes of the episode? Check it out below:
    Shannon Robnett (00:00:00) - But the reality is, if I am the builder, I am in total cost control and my my 100% goal is the builder is to satisfy the developers investors. And so we're constantly in there negotiating pricing. We're constantly working on things. We also put the stopgap and the failsafe in there that my construction company signs a guaranteed maximum contract that I personally back up so my investors never have to worry about cost overruns. And so we're able to create the best of both worlds.
     
    Intro (00:00:30) - Welcome to the how to scale commercial real Estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.
     
    Sam Wilson (00:00:43) - Shannon Robinette has been involved from start to finish on over $350 million in construction projects. Shannon, welcome to the show.
     
    Shannon Robnett (00:00:51) - Hey. Thanks, Sam. Glad to be here.
     
    Sam Wilson (00:00:53) - Absolutely, Shannon. The pleasure is mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show. And yes, you have been on the show before, and at some point during this episode, I will figure out which episode that was and we'll make sure we highlight that out.
     
    Sam Wilson (00:01:04) - But either way, for every guest that comes to the show in 90s or less, can you tell us where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?
     
    Shannon Robnett (00:01:11) - Well, I started at the kitchen table with my parents watching them do real estate. From there, I grew into a merchant builder and was watching other people. I would build their buildings.

Amazing Podcast

Quite an awesome real estate podcast! Super informative while not being too bogged down in vernacular. The episode with the public adjuster was really good, too! 5 stars!
