Episode #023 – Exploring Adventures in Commercial Real Estate

About the Show

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Placemaking Podcast!

I am excited to sharethis conversation with all of you. This week, I have Spencer Burton on the show. Born and raised in the Northwest United States, Spencer Burton has nearly 20 years of residential and commercial real estate experience. Over his career, Spencer has helped close $4.5 billion and underwrite $30 billion of commercial real estate at some of the largest institutional real estate firms in the world. He is currently the Head of Real Estate Investments and member of the founding team at Stablewood Properties. He is also a co-contributor and co-founder of Adventures in CRE, which we will discuss more about in a bit.  

The firm he co-founded, Stablewood Properties is a data-infused Real Estate Operator formed by a team of expert real estate and analytics professionals. Stablewood combines the best of traditional real estate investment and management with proprietary data analytics and machine learning to better incorporate previously inefficient processes throughout the investment life cycle.

Now to discuss his other passion project, the Adventures in CRE website. A.CRE focuses on sharing quality content around three main areas their readers care most about: 1) learning and using advanced concepts in real estate financial modeling, 2) gaining and enhancing skills used in commercial real estate via formal and informal education, and 3) preparing for and advancing a career in commercial real estate together with a comprehensive job board with hundreds of CRE jobs. I have provided a link in the description below for you to check out!

In this episode, we are going to discuss how Spencer got started in real estate, certain resources that he believes are most important to an individual’s success in real estate, and tons of useful tips he would give to other’s that are looking to get into commercial real estate.

As always, if you have enjoyed the show, please subscribe to the show and share with your friends. There will be more exciting conversations on the show to come.

So without further ado, let’s start the show!
