Curating a Commercial Real Estate News Feed

By Chris Arnold

A strong network is built the old-fashioned way

On this live episode of Transforming Cities, we were joined by John Drachman of Waterford Property Company.

During our live event, we chatted about John's rise to being an "accidental influencer," which came about after originally cutting his teeth with a daily real estate blog.

We also had the opportunity to discuss his knack for seeking truth in the market, what makes for good networking in 2023, and how he curates his own news feed to gain the most insight.
