Special Report: Alexander Twins Accused of Rape

The Real Deal — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 05:00:00 -0400

Last week, The Real Deal broke the news that top broker Oren Alexander and his twin brother, Alon, had been accused of rape and sexual assault by at least two women. The complaints detail events that allegedly took place more than a decade ago. But the lawsuits and the nearly 30 people who came forward alleging similar incidents after the story published, according to an attorney representing the two women, speak to a pattern of alleged gender-based violence. Deconstruct speaks with South Florida Bureau Chief Katherine Kallergis, Reporter Sheridan Wall and Senior Editor Ellen Cranley about what we know so far.

_Warning: This episode includes descriptions of alleged sexual assault.

Brokerage Head Kyle Matthews On What's Next For Commercial Real Estate Across The Sun Belt

The Real Deal — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Not many commercial brokers branch out to start their own brokerages. But in 2015, Kyle Matthews did. Today, his Nashville-based firm Matthews Real Estate has done more than $50 billion in deals and about 650 agents. Most of what Matthews is focused on is advising clients — helping buyers and sellers sort out investments and identify pockets of opportunity. At a time when some asset classes (hint: multifamily and office) are struggling across the Sun Belt, Matthews thinks there's never been a better time for brokers to take on this role.

The Real Deal's Deconstruct chatted with Matthews about how values dropping presents an opportunity for buyers and what he's predicting across the Sun Belt in 2024.

Compass Points to Its Future

The Real Deal — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Compass CEO Robert Reffkin had a busy Nov. 10. Hours after speaking at a TRD forum in Miami, Reffkin got on a conference call with analysts to discuss the company's much anticipated earnings results for the third quarter. Compass lost $157 million from July through September — more than it lost in the second quarter. Deconstruct looks at the state of the brokerage, why it's struggling and where it goes from here.

Guests: TRD reporter Harrison Connery, TRD deputy web editor and South Florida reporter Katherine Kallergis.
