Call me a switch hitter! When it comes to real estate, I bat on both sides of the plate working in both residential and commercial going on 13 years now. From 300 plus unit apartment complexes to the roof over your head, I've got you covered.

Don't trust the national media, they're an entertainment industry now. What happens in other markets doesn't always effect the land or pork steaks and mostaccioli. The residential market in the midwest has been hot and steady much like the multifamily industry. Remember that real estate is always a long term game and seeing the forest through the trees is the secret to any long term business success. Rates aren't high, they are only relatively high just like your favorite barista. So sit back and sip up on this thirty-one year look back in time.

So are you going anywhere fun over the summer? Any summer vacation plans?

Yeah, I'm gonna stay here. The weather is nice(ish), there's free stuff to do. My kids don't need to travel just to melt down in another state, and there's the comfort of my own bed.

Staycation STL!

The only thing I wanted for Father's Day was to play golf on Mother's Day, but I guess there's always next year 😁. Being a Dad is the coolest endeavor I have ever embarked on and I'm lucky to do it with .j.koppy who appreciates... and or tolerates my humor more than anyone else!

Happy Father's Day to all the good dad's out there, especially my own for providing me with a great childhood and foundational skills to be the man I am today. Here's my take on fathering real estate development.

Cheers, fellas!

I alway found it so arrogant and counterproductive how many people will approach new areas, buildings, or houses with such surefooted confidence in opinions of what needs to be changed to better the site without ever taking inventory of the people and underlying issues that are inhabiting the place.

In residential, I've witnessed agents' glamour over kitchens and living spaces while they are blind to the dissatisfied expression on their client's faces. I've sat in long-standing restaurants with 20+ year histories listening to adjacent patrons adding their "constructive criticisms" after they've admitted to being first-time guests to their server. I've attended city council meetings where large development proposals are unanimously voted down to the utter shock of the developer who never bothered approaching the council prior to investing in their soft costs.

In a world of sound bites and hot takes, my philosophy is to take the time to read the room, gather opinions, and ask the right question before firing off solutions to what may only be surface problems or news cycle hype. Real estate is a long term game, it's self defeating to be pennywise and pound foolish. Addressing surface problems without understanding the root issue only gains you a future bigger problem. It's like a drug ad that carries a list of horrendous side effects. I'm not sorry, but I'm going to find a new doctor if they think explosive diarrhea is an acceptable side effect to chronic dry skin.

Humility gives way to learning. At age 41 with 13 years in this industry I'm happy to say that I don't have all of the answers, but I'm ever eager to learn more by listening.

Come on down by the river!?!

Almost everyone in St. Louis: "How do we get there??"

Me: Remember that spot in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and early 00's? Yeah it's actually pretty nice to go there when the sun is out.
