This week we sit down with Jeff Salzbrun, owner of Commercial Equities Group, for an episode that is really as much about Jeff’s story as it is commercial real estate. Jeff got out of the Army as a young guy with a strong work ethic but no real estate career waiting for him. He started doing manual labor, was willing to learn, kept putting one foot in front of the other, and slowly worked his way into the commercial real estate business. Eventually, that kid doing the grunt work was brokering deals, investing, developing properties, and building a career that has now spanned more than 35 years.
Jeff shares a ton of great stories from along the way, including his 20 years working with his longtime mentor John Allen at Industrial Equities, where they developed, repositioned, leased, and managed millions of square feet of commercial real estate. He talks about eventually leaving to start Commercial Equities Group, the lessons he learned from the people around him, deals that shaped his career, and what more than three decades in the business have taught him. Jeff’s story is a pretty classic American dream story—work hard, stay curious, learn from good people, take opportunities when they come, and see where it takes you.
