On this episode of ICYMI we celebrate two new firms joining our brand, new marketing materials and fonts, brand wins and more!

Discover how Steve and Michael Lyle built a leading Palm Desert commercial real estate practice, transitioning from parking cars to brokering landmark transactions like the $14 million Liebling building and the $6.5 million Billy Reed's restaurant sale. Packed with local market insights, this edition of Market Tales explores how generalist brokerage strategies, dual-agency expertise, and deep community relationships drive long-term CRE success in the Coachella Valley.

Kathi Costanzo didn’t just raise the bar — she set it. Holding both her SIOR and CCIM designations, Kathi is among an extraordinarily small group of commercial real estate professionals to earn both — and one of even fewer women to do so. As the first woman in the Coldwell Banker Commercial network to earn her SIOR, Kathi joins Jenna Hille for a conversation on what it takes to pursue the highest standards in CRE, the mentors who shaped her along the way, and the mindset that drives her every day. Plus — a special Market Tales bonus conversation with Ashley Wilson, recorded live at CBC Global Conference 2026 right after Kathi’s CBC Pathfinder Award win.

In this episode, host Jenna Hille, Strategy & Operations Director at Coldwell Banker Commercial, sits down with Audrey Navarro, Managing Partner of Clemons Real Estate in Kansas City. A retail and investment specialist, Audrey has spent two decades building a full-service commercial firm alongside her family, with work spanning Crown Center repositioning, multifamily redevelopment, and a nonprofit specialty practice. She shares how she built WIRED — a 150-member women’s investment group where members pool capital and acquire commercial real estate together. From a $2,000 investment minimum on their first deal just West of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, she breaks down how women are moving from the sidelines to ownership. A practical look at building wealth, community, and confidence in CRE.

On this month's ICYMI we highlight media partnerships that hit the national stage, our 120th anniversary celebration and there's still time to register for CRE WIN, CREi Summit, and our Constant Contact webinar. Listen now for the full rundown!

Commercial real estate’s 2026 recovery isn’t playing out the same way everywhere. In this episode, Jenna Hille sits down with Dan Spiegel to unpack Coldwell Banker Commercial’s 2026 Mid-Year Outlook — from the large jump in transaction volume to the widening gap between primary and secondary markets, the two-tier cap rate environment, and why owner-users and 1031 buyers are driving activity while institutional capital stays cautious. They break down sector-by-sector trends across industrial, office, retail, and multifamily, and share what CBC’s brokers are seeing on the ground that the national numbers don’t capture.

In this month's episode of Market Tales, recorded live from our 2026 Global Conference, I’m walking and talking with two incredible guests: Stephen Stucy and Heather Tickel. Known as “Mr. Money” in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Stephen shares how a career as a fundraising auctioneer unexpectedly opened the door to a thriving commercial real estate business. From Sumter, South Carolina, Heather reflects on the value of trusting the guidance of others and reminds us that true success is measured by the people you can celebrate it with at the end of the day. Different markets and unique journeys, yet both stories reveal a powerful common thread: success often begins with the unexpected.

What if the advice you’ve been given — work hard, earn your seat at the table — is exactly what’s holding you back? Marcy Moneypenny, founder of The Moneypenny Collective and a 35-year CRE veteran, has a different take. In this episode she breaks down why hard work alone won’t build the career you want, how sponsors and mentors play completely different roles, and what it looks like to stop waiting for a seat and start building your own table. Plus — her take on where commercial real estate is headed and why embracing AI might be the industry’s most important next move.

On the June ICYMI we recap what's new across the CBC network, from a major media push and a new affiliate welcome, to tech updates, upcoming events, and emerging market trends. Be sure to give it a listen today!

Two hosts. One guest. This Market Tales × WCBC special, recorded live at CBC Global Conference 2026, features Kelsey Ward in conversation with Ashley Wilson on agility, influence, and next-gen CRE leadership — plus an exclusive Women of CBC lightning round with Jenna Hille. Kelsey’s path from architect to broker is anything but linear — she brings a rare design-meets-dealmaker perspective to creative financing, adaptive reuse, and what it means to build a career and a reputation at the same time in commercial real estate. This episode showcases how curiosity, collaboration, and next-gen leadership are shaping the future of commercial real estate.
