Gordon Lamphere J.D. 🏭 CRE

Greatful to work with @VanVlissingenCo, an experienced team with a vast network of occupier and investment contacts. We leased a high-credit tenant, renewed, and maximized profit for the owners with a direct sale. So thankful for the opportunity to serve our clients!

A developer just proposed a use the village has already informed us multiple times that they will reject. Him: “It’s more profitable” Me: “The village said no” Him: “That’s what due diligence is for” Me: “Diligence is for unknowns. This is a known. You just don’t like it.”

@Carson_CRE Brutal

@Gordon_CRE Just turned over a BoV that was 30% below the last guys listed figure. Have to do it but hate to see what it does to the owner who had inflated expectations.

The hardest conversation in brokerage isn’t telling a seller his building is worth less. It’s telling him it was never worth what the last broker convinced him it was.

@ERodz3 I’m not defending the brand, but the sentiment has consequences.

@Gordon_CRE to be fair, i would also stop Pulte homes.

I wonder why housing is so expensive…

@Gordon_CRE If you think urban planning is expensive amnesia, wait till you check out business consulting.

Pullman built housing, retail, and jobs in walking distance in the 1880s. We spent a century zoning that illegal, then reinvented it as “mixed-use,” and now charge a premium for it. Urban planning is just expensive amnesia.

@AdamHKlein Yeah that’s a stretch

@Gordon_CRE Secondary market in Midwest

We calling this class A industrial?

@EllenYChang Likewise, and a project our company was involved with ;)

@Gordon_CRE Those are gorgeous buildings. I am a fan of homes built with red brick.

@cashkern Sadly a lot of success in the real estate business comes down to confidence games. That’s why so many agents can be incredibly dangerous.

@Gordon_CRE Resimercial is an amazing nickname. It always amazes me how sure of themselves they are. They don't realize they aren't even playing the same sport.

Fair response?

@AshtonGSummers A solid work week chuckle

@Gordon_CRE Hilarious

@chrisderose Problem is there are too many resmercial agents wilding to spend my time being mad

@Gordon_CRE You were too nice about it.

@paulswaney3 Exactly, like getting mad at Dora the explorer for being childish lol

@Gordon_CRE The hate against them is wild It’s a kids show

To people hating on the Savana Bananas. This isn’t for you. It’s for children and you’re a crotchety unc now. Let them enjoy their childhood

@TheSFGiantsGuy Haha there’s some truth to that

@Gordon_CRE Amazing response, but you’ve dedicated a lot of time and thought to a mass text campaign that the initiating broker doesn’t think about at all.

@Gordon_CRE I feel like I already know what this guy looks like

@Gordon_CRE No, should have replied interested, arranged a site walk then bailed to reschedule, then repeat until they catch on.

@ftw_cre @TristenPalori Haha it’s not on the MLS and I’m doubtful it’s a respectable shop

@Gordon_CRE @TristenPalori Is your listing on the MLS? Anyway, the way to handle is send to their sponsoring broker. Any respectable shop will take care of this clowns approach.

@Gordon_CRE You should have strung them along and asked them for a BOV just for giggles

@ChadGriffiths I do appreciate the confidence of some folks in our industry but I’d appreciate if they weren’t so mean in the future

@Gordon_CRE checkmate
