What if the hardest chapter of your career turned out to be the education you needed most? My path into commercial real estate wasn’t polished, predictable, or comfortable. It required long days, difficult lessons, and a willingness to keep working—even when I had no idea where the road would lead. Looking back, every unexpected turn was preparing me for what came next. 🔗 Watch the full video: youtube.com/watch?v=GUnDkpxU… #JoeKillinger

75 days left in 2026. That’s not a countdown to panic. It’s an opportunity. Many brokers mentally check out after Halloween. They tell themselves “nothing closes in the holidays” and “I’ll hit it hard in January.” Meanwhile, the people who finish strong are doing the opposite: 📞 Calling the clients who went quiet in the summer 📋 Cleaning up their pipeline and chasing the deals that are 80% there 🤝 Thanking the people who sent them business this year 🎯 Setting next year’s goals now, so January 1st is a launch, not a warm-up Your 2027 starts in the next 75 days, not on New Year’s Day. Enjoy your Saturday. Then come Monday, go finish the year the way you wanted to start it. #CommercialRealEstate #CRE #Q4 #FinishStrong #BrokerLife

I founded Leadership Exchange, a group of leading entrepreneurs and executives who meet quarterly to share insights, discuss our businesses, and explore ways to support one another. With a focus on real estate and wealth creation, our conversations offer valuable perspectives on what’s happening across industries. The greatest benefit is the relationships: knowing I can pick up the phone and connect with any of these exceptional individuals is a privilege I don’t take for granted. #Entrepreneurship #entrepreneur

FRIDAYS WITH GEORGE-What is Halo Effect?

Why can two similar properties command very different rents—or sell at completely different prices? Sometimes, the biggest influence on a property’s value isn’t found within its four walls. It’s what surrounds it. This week on #FridaysWithGeorge, George explains the “halo effect” and what investors should be paying attention to when evaluating location. What nearby feature do you think adds the most value to a property? #CommercialBrokersInternational

Here’s the downside of doing showings with a pastry chef: every time we drive past another bakery, he knows someone, so naturally, we have to stop in. The pastries are amazing. My gym time has doubled. 😂 Also, these were perfection. 🥐🥮@artelicelaCA

What if some of the easiest money in commercial real estate is hiding in the relationships you already have? Too many agents walk away from opportunities simply because a deal falls outside their market, asset class, or area of expertise. But knowing the right person to call can still create value for your client—and additional revenue for your business. In my latest blog, I break down six referral sources that many CRE agents overlook and how to approach them the right way. 📷 Read the full blog: joekillinger.co/blog/the-bes… #JoeKillinger

From a town of 281 people in Nebraska to a career in commercial real estate, my path came with a few unexpected stops. Selling shoes, making cold calls, and figuring out where I belonged—it took time to find my footing. Every career has a beginning. Here’s a look at mine.

Have you ever received a phone call that sounded like a complaint—only to realize it was something completely different? One of the most memorable calls I’ve received began with a statement that immediately made me nervous. By the time it ended, I was reminded that the best recognition often arrives when you least expect it. Sometimes, the calls that make your stomach drop become the ones you remember for all the right reasons. #JoeKillinger

A few years ago, I got a phone call I still think about. It was a client we’d worked hard for. Great relationship. Great results in Los Angeles. They were expanding across the country, and they called to tell me, kindly, that they were going with a national firm. Not because we’d let them down. Because when they asked, “Can you help us in Denver? Nashville? Charlotte?” the honest answer was no. We were good. We just weren’t everywhere. It happened again with another international brand. Same call. Same reason. I hung up the second time thinking about everyone who ends up where those clients were. A tenant or buyer who knows exactly what they need but is looking at a city they’ve never worked in. They have no idea who the good brokers are. They don’t know which landlords negotiate, which corridors are about to turn, or which buildings never make it onto a listing site. So they do what anyone would do. They Google. They pick whoever comes up first. Sometimes it works out. Often they end up as a small file on a busy desk. Meanwhile, in nearly every one of those cities, there’s an independent brokerage run by someone who’s spent twenty years learning every block. Someone who picks up their own phone. Someone who would treat that client like the most important deal of the year. The client and that broker just never find each other. That’s the gap we set out to close with the @AffiliateNetwo8 One trusted independent firm in each market, connected to the others. Today that’s 46 brokerages across the country. Now when a client says, “We’re looking in a city we don’t know,” the answer isn’t “sorry.” It’s “I know exactly who you should talk to.” I lost those clients because I couldn’t help them everywhere. Now we can. If you’re searching for space somewhere new, reach out. I’ll introduce you to the right person. #realestate #realestateagent

Have you ever been in the middle of a difficult day and suddenly pictured a completely different life for yourself? Long before commercial real estate, I was doing work that left me tired, covered in dirt, and wondering how I was going to build the future I wanted. One particular day gave me all the motivation I needed to make a change—although one part of the plan still hasn’t worked out quite the way I expected. Sometimes, the career you’re meant for begins with realizing exactly where you don’t want to stay. #JoeKillinger
