Most commercial real estate deals don’t fail on price, they stall on contracts. In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Now, we dig into the contract clauses creating the most friction in today’s CRE transactions, including indemnities, reps and warranties, escrow holdbacks, survey and title risk, and contracts contingent on entitlements. This conversation focuses on where buyer and seller expectations diverge, why legal review becomes a pressure point, and what investors should be thinking about before signing a contract. If you’re actively buying, selling, or advising on deals, this is worth the time.

Owning real estate doesn’t automatically make you a great operator, managing it well does. In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Now, Karly Iacono breaks down five habits that separate engaged asset managers from landlords who quietly lose money over time. These are not dramatic mistakes, they’re small oversights that compound and erode NOI, valuation, and exit outcomes. You’ll learn: • Why sloppy CAM reconciliations can cost tens of thousands of dollars • How “hands-off” net-lease ownership still creates real risk • Why every property needs a capital and exit plan even when things look stable • How market timing, rent comps, and BOVs protect long-term value • Why organized files directly impact sale price and lender confidence This episode is a must-listen for investors who want to protect income, preserve value, and stay in control of their portfolio — not react to the market after it’s too late. 🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more insights on smart real estate ownership and asset strategy.
