    Jaidyn Smith on Shopping Centers: Tight Vacancy, Active Buyers, Real Deals
    Apr 8 2026
    Jaidyn Smith of Friedman Real Estate covers the intricacies of multi-tenant retail investment sales and shopping center value-add strategies. The Crexi Podcast connects commercial real estate (CRE) professionals with industry insights built for smart decision-making. In each episode, we explore the latest trends, innovations and opportunities shaping commercial real estate, because we believe knowledge should move at the speed of ambition and every conversation should empower professionals to act with greater clarity and confidence. Jaidyn Smith started her CRE career almost by accident (a friend's cold call changed the trajectory she thought she was on) and six years later she's closing multi-tenant shopping center deals for US and international investors across Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and beyond. She specializes in the kinds of transactions that require patience, creativity, and a willingness to stay on the phone when things go sideways. In this episode, Jaidyn joins host Shanti Ryle to talk about how she built her business from a list of KFCs and dollar stores, what actually happens between LOI and closing, why landlords currently have the upper hand, and what she sees coming for retail in 2026.

Over time, she has become increasingly focused on assisting investment sales clients with multi-tenant shopping centers, successfully completing a number of both on-market and off-market transactions. She works with U.S. and international investors on acquisitions and dispositions, advising on pricing strategy, timing, and long-term value creation. With a background in sales and investor advisory, Jaidyn is known for her responsiveness, negotiation skill, and ability to simplify complex transactions.

In each episode, we explore the latest trends, innovations and opportunities shaping commercial real estate, because we believe knowledge should move at the speed of ambition and every conversation should empower professionals to act with greater clarity and confidence. Jeffrey Estrada brokers multifamily assets across Central and West LA, a market defined by rent control, regulatory complexity, and disciplined buyers.

In this episode, Jeffrey joins host Ashley Kobovitch for a candid conversation about what it actually takes to survive the first 16 months in brokerage, how he prepares for every client meeting, what Measure ULA is doing to the development pipeline, and why despite everything, demand in LA multifamily hasn't gone anywhere.

  • Intuitive Certainty: Tori Nook on Tenant Rep and Building a Business

    Intuitive Certainty: Tori Nook on Tenant Rep and Building a Business
    Mar 18 2026
    Retail tenant rep broker Tori Nook shares how she built Anchor Retail, closed $1B in deals, and what's driving Ohio's commercial real estate market. The Crexi Podcast connects commercial real estate (CRE) professionals with industry insights built for smart decision-making. In each episode, we explore the latest trends, innovations and opportunities shaping commercial real estate, because we believe knowledge should move at the speed of ambition and every conversation should empower professionals to act with greater clarity and confidence. Tori Nook has spent 26 years doing the work most brokers don’t: driving unfamiliar markets, calling landlords who aren't listed anywhere, and building national rollout programs one relationship at a time. The result is over $1 billion in closed deals and a women-owned brokerage with offices in Cleveland and Columbus serving national credit tenants. In this episode, Tori joins host Shanti Ryle for a wide-ranging conversation covering her unconventional path into retail CRE, what it actually takes to succeed in tenant rep, why she was fired before starting her own firm, and what Ohio's tight retail market looks like from the ground right now.

With twenty-six years of experience, Tori has closed over $1 billion in deals and built long-term relationships with clients including AutoZone, Academy Sports, Dollar General, Signet Jewelers, PetSmart, Panera Bread, Wahlburgers, Bath & Body Works, Urban Air, Skechers, Sweetgreen, and Lands' End. Tori has been recognized as a Crain's Cleveland Business "Top 40 under 40," Notable Woman in Real Estate, and Notable Leader in Commercial Real Estate in Northeastern Ohio. She was awarded "The Mother of The Bread" by Panera Bread and named the #1 Tenant Rep broker in Columbus, Ohio, by TRADEWIRE Columbus in 2024. In the last few years, she was voted a "Top Woman Influencer" by CREi Summit (2025 & 2026), recognized as the #48 LinkedIn Influencer, and awarded GlobeSt 2025 Woman of Influence in Broker-Tenant Representation. Her book, Intuitive Certainty, releases in late 2026. A graduate of John Carroll University's Boler School of Business, Tori is licensed in Ohio and operates offices in Cleveland and Columbus. She serves on the board of Providence House, a crisis nursery in Cleveland, and is a member of the Realty Resources Network membership board and the International Council of Shopping Centers.
