Welcome back to Brick & Brand! In this episode, we introduce you to the real stars of the show — the landlords who guard their buildings like royalty, the brokers juggling twelve personalities and seven crises at once, the attorneys who turn paragraphs into sagas, and the contractors holding everything together with caffeine and prayer. We break down how a deal actually comes together, why nothing in this business is ever as simple as it looks, and how this unlikely cast of opposites manages to (eventually) get the doors open.
