On this episode of the Deconstructed: The Future of CRE podcast, Todd Jurek, Principal at Keen Realty Group joins host Vivek Kartha to talk about his long career in commercial real estate, his early days working for large companies in property management, and his decision to venture out on his own with Keen Realty Group—a full-service commercial real estate firm based in Houston, Texas. With more than three decades of experience, Todd has seen many upward and downward trends in the market. He started his career in the mid-80s, one of the biggest bust periods in real estate history. But, as he tells Vivek, he pushed on because he knew if he could make it in bad times, he could thrive in good ones. When he started Keen, leaving the comfort of working for large companies wasn’t a decision he took lightly. But he knew he had the experience, knowledge, and connections to make it work on his own. Todd’s biggest piece of advice to anyone thinking about venturing out on their own is to wait until you are confident in your knowledge and experience. It worked for him. @Todd Jurek @Keen Realty Group Keen Realty @Vivek Kartha @WorkSpace WorkSpace This podcast is brought to you by WorkSpace. Remove the friction between assets, data, and people.
