Watch me get it done.

I shared a story with Nicole Pendergrass about a deal that returned 399% in just over two years.

We leased the property to Walgreens and then sold it to a Walgreens developer.

But getting there wasn’t easy.

One of the lawyers on the deal kept telling me, “You’ll never get this done.”

Wrong thing to say to me.

When someone tells me I can’t do something, I work even harder to prove that I can.

That deal reminded me that confidence doesn’t come from getting everyone in the room to agree with you. It comes from knowing the deal, doing the work, and staying focused when other people doubt you.

Don’t let someone else decide what you can or can’t get done.

Sometimes a little doubt from someone else is exactly the fuel you need.

Some of the most important shopping center management decisions happen outside the lease.

Flowers at the entrance.
A bench where parents can wait.
Music throughout the property.
Clean dumpster areas.
Reliable vendors who know you value their work.
And a property manager who actually spends time at the property.

These details influence how people experience a shopping center, and they help you see operational issues before they become bigger problems.

In this bonus episode of "I Own a Shopping Center. Now What?," I share several of the practical property management lessons I’ve learned from operating shopping centers.

What does a prospect see when they pull into your shopping center?

We’ve officially reached the 100th episode of I Own A Shopping Center. Now What?, and as I wind down the podcast, I’m sharing some of the operating details I believe matter most.

Signage and vacancies are two of them.

I prefer clean, easy-to-read signage and limit the flags, A-frames, and temporary signs that can clutter a property. The day a lease is signed, we order a coming soon sign to create excitement around the center.

I also want every vacancy impeccably clean, uncovered, well-lit, and comfortable to tour. I keep the utilities on because I want prospects to walk into a space that feels ready for its next tenant.

Small details matter when your goal is getting space leased.

Zero objections doesn't always mean a great showing.

In fact, the prospects who ask no questions often disappear because they were never interested.

The prospect who challenges you, asks question after question, and stays for an hour?

That's the one who's seriously considering the space.
Don't fear objections. Welcome them, they're often the clearest sign of real interest.

Do you know the overall health of your shopping center?

In Episode 99 of “I Own A Shopping Center. Now What?” I’m sharing the reports I look at when I’m running a property or consulting for an owner.

I start with the rent roll. I want to know the rents, expirations, options, CAM, guarantees, and occupancy. Then I look at exclusives because you need to know what you can lease before you start leasing.

Expiration and delinquency reports help me see what needs attention now and what I need to plan for next.

Sales reports tell me who’s performing. Occupancy costs can show me who’s strong and who may be struggling. And I always want a budget-to-actual so I know where the property stands financially.

These reports help me understand what’s happening today and make better decisions about what happens next.
