#MeetTheDealmaker: In this episode, I speak with Steven Silverman, from Friedman Real Estate in Michigan, about the Real Estate auction process and why sellers should be paying more attention to auction platforms to sell their assets. We discuss how he got into the business and why using an auction platform should not only be used to sell distressed properties.

Steven specializes in the acquisition and disposition of investment grade real estate assets (single & multi-tenant retail, multi-family, industrial, office, hotels/hospitality, and self-storage facilities) for clients nationwide. Additionally, Mr. Silverman is a well-recognized expert in stabilized, value-add, and distressed property auction sales.

Steven’s work also includes tenant & landlord lease representation, 1031 exchanges, sale-leaseback transactions, and general commercial advisory services.

Steven holds a B.A. in Economics and Political Science from the University of Michigan. He is a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers
