CRE with CBCworldwide

In this episode of CRE with CBCWorldwide, Dan Spiegel interviews Paul Cohen, CREXi, about the evolving role of auctions in commercial real estate, the impact of AI on brokerage, and strategies for professionals to stay ahead in a rapidly changing industry.

In the ever-evolving landscape of commercial real estate, auctions are often misunderstood as a strategy solely for distressed properties. We delved into the true potential of auctions and how they can be a game-changer for property sales.

In this month’s ICYMI, we welcome Coldwell Banker Commercial Riverflow in Houston and Coldwell Banker Commercial Korea in Seoul, preview the virtual Fall Summit on November 12, and dig into the latest CBC Trend Report on office fit-outs. We also spotlight 1906 Club broker Gaines Slade and how he uses LandID to find opportunity across the Texas Triangle.

To celebrate the announcement of our 2027 Global Conference in New Orleans, we’re bringing you a special Market Tales Mash-Up recorded live from the 2026 Global Conference. Join host Ashley Wilson as she sits down with three brokers from across the network, representing Georgia, Texas, and Hawaii, to hear the career journeys that shaped them and the conference experiences that have left a lasting impact. From lessons learned and milestones achieved to the connections that make our community stronger, this episode captures the stories, insights, and spirit that make Global Conference a can't-miss event.

In this episode of CRE with CBC Worldwide, Jenna Hille sits down with Danielle Sprouls, founder of Unscripted Pivots, executive coach, keynote speaker, and author of WTF: Women That Flourish. Danielle shares how an unexpected career path through law, motherhood, and commercial real estate shaped her approach to sales, leadership, and reinvention.

Together, they explore the power of self-trust, the courage to embrace change, and why the hardest moments in life often become the most transformative. Danielle also opens up about the story behind her book WTF, her philosophy of “worth the fear,” and how her upcoming book, The Pivot Advantage, helps leaders turn chaos into a competitive edge.

If you’re navigating a career shift, leading through uncertainty, or looking for a fresh perspective on growth, this conversation offers practical wisdom and real encouragement.

Holly Neber spent nine years as CEO of AEI Consultants, then looked at her calendar and designed a different role entirely. Today she’s the firm’s first Chief Resilience Officer — and she argues that leaders who reinvent themselves create room for everyone below them. In this episode, host Jenna Hille and Holly cover the ASTM property resilience standard she built with 180 industry stakeholders, why insurability is quietly reshaping underwriting and exit value, and how a self-described introvert became global president of CREW Network. Plus — the two-line message she says most leaders never send, and why it matters more than they think.

On this ICYMI we reveal the upcoming Global Conference Location for 2026, share details on our changed nomination awards program, highlight new recruiting resources, industry events and more!

Host Jenna Hille talks with Alison Beddard, CEO of CREW Network, about her surprisingly winding path into commercial real estate — from a nutrition and dietetics degree, to running a nightclub, to discovering CREW Utah after losing everything in the 2008 financial crisis. Alison opens up on imposter syndrome, learning patience in leadership, and the moment 1,500 women in one room changed the course of her career.

In this episode of Market Tales on CRE with CBC Worldwide, Ashley Wilson chats with Mark Inman of CBC Tec in New Orleans, Louisiana, whose path into commercial real estate began after earning a law degree and deciding brokerage was a better fit than practicing law. Mark shares how he launched his career just before Hurricane Katrina, navigating one of the most challenging periods in New Orleans history and helping rebuild business activity in the years that followed.

Mark discusses the evolution of CBC Tec from a family-owned business into one of the region's leading real estate firms, current trends in the New Orleans office market, and the opportunities and challenges facing the city as it positions itself for future growth. He also offers a behind-the-scenes look at adaptive reuse projects, the importance of economic development, and what CBC affiliates can look forward to when Global Conference heads to New Orleans in 2027, including the food, culture, architecture, and unique experiences that make the city unlike anywhere else.

What does the data actually say about where commercial real estate is headed? Jenna Hille sits down with Jane Thorn Leeson, Director of Research at Coldwell Banker Commercial and the woman behind CBC’s Mid-Year Report, to pull back the curtain on how the numbers get made — and what they mean for the people doing deals every day. Jane shares her path into CRE research, how she translates raw market data into insights brokers can actually use, and the trends that surprised her most this year.

On this episode of Women of CBC with host Jenna Hille, guest Barbi Reuter — former CEO of PICOR and 2022 CREW Network global board president — reflects on her 40-year career in commercial real estate, the sponsors who shaped her path, and the lessons learned in her new chapter beyond the C-suite. A candid conversation on legacy, mentorship, and knowing when it’s time to let go.
