Making Dreams Come True in Commercial Real Estate with David Hunter

The Entrepreneurial Agent

In this episode of the podcast, David Hunter discusses the importance of treating people right in the real estate industry. Drawing from his experience as the founder of Hunter Paul Commercial Real Estate, David shares insights on how entrepreneurs and business owners can make informed decisions either to lease or purchase commercial real estate.

Throughout the show, David emphasizes the value of thinking outside the box, using demographics, and analytics to create added value for clients. He explains how his company uses advanced analytics to identify the perfect location based on specific median income requirements. He also shares the importance of understanding clients' current situations in their portfolio and the current market conditions. David guides clients through the process and makes strategic recommendations based on hard data.

David Hunter's mantra is to treat people right, which he learned from his successful entrepreneur parents. He believes that treating people right will ultimately benefit you, even in today's world of disinformation and increasing attempts to trick others. This is because, as he puts it, "Good people know good people, and bad people know bad people. So, if you're crappy to people, they're going to tell other people you're crappy.”

David's passion for excellence in customer experience is evident in how he approaches real estate transactions. He acknowledges that sometimes clients are not ready to purchase property but can negotiate their leases, and he works to provide options to streamline the process. He seeks to help clients achieve their goals, regardless of whether they are large or small. David's heart-warming example of helping a woman open a daycare business and guiding her through the process illustrate his commitment to helping entrepreneurs better their business.

David has been in the commercial real estate industry for close to five years and recently obtained the CCIM designation, a gold standard in commercial real estate. Before founding Hunter Paul Commercial Real Estate, he obtained his Bachelor's degree in Business Management with a Minor in Analytics from Old Dominion University.

In conclusion, David Hunter provides expert insights on how businesses can achieve their real estate goals by thinking outside the box. He emphasizes the importance of treating people right and using data-driven analytics to achieve optimal results, making him an excellent resource for entrepreneurs and business owners alike.
