Newmark v Eastdil, Related's Lufthansa (Signature) heist & Wells v JPM

Wanted to share the latest Promote Podcast drop: We discuss the rivalry between Newmark & Eastdil, two mighty CRE brokerages that seem to live to one-up each other - v different styles and v different comp models that play a role too which we get into. 

We get into Related's "Lufthansa heist" - the expert politicking that led them snag the Signature Bank RS book for 36% LESS than fellow bidders. And finally, more Chetrit action – this time a battle between Wells & JPMorgan over a $500M multifamily megadeal that went wrong.

Please have a listen, and if it's your jam, subscribe and share. Any and all feedback is welcome - we're learning as we go. Thanks!

Surprisingly insightful podcast, really good work.  Nice to hear a RE-focused podcast which has actual analysis and commentary and isn't just a fawning regurgitation of whatever press release the developer in question put out.

 

Appreciate you! It's a very conscious decision to not go down the PR route and instead try to bring to CRE what folks like The Ringer are doing. Hope you keep tuning in
